    • Synopsis
    • Shark is the ocean’s top predators. But being a predator does not exclude being a prey. This is true for both animals and humans.In Todos Santos, Mexico, fishermen gather on the beach to venture into the sea in search of sharks. It’s a tradition practiced by a close-knit group bound by a strong sense of brotherhood. But the community is also affected by drug use and violence. The fishermen share the last name of Salvatierra, the family to which Ángel, our protagonist, belongs. Ángel, however, seeks a different path in life, one far from the sea
