Plot

A father and son from the capital arrive at Horcones Cove with the aim of turning an old settlement into a fishing business. The idea excites the younger locals, but it meets with disapproval from the adults. In the end, the elders drive the newcomers out, choosing to continue their humble but more peaceful life. Only the industrialist's son, drawn to the serene lifestyle of the area, gives up city life and stays with the fishermen. [2]
