Above the sea

severe storm and an accident prevent the return to the continent of two visitors to the island, where the prison is located. Louise, a peasant woman from a small village in central Italy who has five children, visits her husband, who is serving a sentence for killing two people. Paolo - a former teacher of philosophy, came to see his son-terrorist. Superintendent Nitti, who has problems in the family due to his uncontrolled cruelty, accompanies these visitors and has no right to leave them unattended. The forced stay of these three people together on the island will change their lives forever.
