Mare nostro

About the show

Unemployed philosopher Vinerblut arrives on a Mediterranean island to seek a miraculous fishing machine owned by the local landowner Pigliatutto. Mistaken for an expected visitor, he poses as a clairvoyant and predicts disaster while offering an antidote. As islanders plot to take the machine and Candeggina hopes to escape with Vinerblut, he steals it and prepares to leave. The machine breaks apart in a struggle. Pigliatutto’s real visitor, investor Ivenmor, arrives with plans for a resort and proposes employing the would-be conspirators as entertainers.
