One day in November, a small freighter, caught in an unusual combination of adverse elements, is in danger of sinking in the lower Adriatic Sea. The prompt intervention of the small harbor master's office manages to prevent a massacre. The shipwrecked are sheltered in an old monastery built during the Crusades, which will be their refuge until the Northeast wind calms down. The incident changes the destiny of three brothers who, without knowing each other, are thrown into a completely new reality, a cosmos of rules and laws that only sailors understand. The port is crowded with merchant and military units, and amidst the clouds of anthracite smoke and the sound of sirens echoing through the stinking alleys, life resumes as usual. A world built on the neurotic experiences of adults, where love is confused with passion and innocence is abused. Ancient and mysterious dynamics, a seafaring culture whose customs, handed down for centuries, impose crystallized rules devoid of modernity. The long hibernation ends, everything awakens under the whip of the icy northeast wind; the port's dive bars come alive, Barbara reopens her famous brothel, and the painful stories, buried forever, spill into the air along with the scent of freshly cooked food. The crisis of authentic and real education and the consequent rupture in the roots of identity of the new generations who, catapulted into this dimension, drugged by the tricks of adults, experience the urges of their adolescence in a casual and unnatural way.
