Where it was filmed 'The Sea Urchin Divers’ Clan'

Director Pietro Mereu shows a hidden Cagliari, its neighbourhoods, markets and the disused prison Buon Cammino describe the life – tattooed onto the body and forged by years of prison time – of a small group of former inmates. Today, Andrea, Massimo, Simone and Bruno live from sea urchin fishing in the Sardinian sea during the coldest months of the year. It is a tough job that, thanks to Gesuino Banchero and his fishing cooperative, offers an opportunity to restore dignity to people forgotten by the world, so they can overcome their past and take control of their own lives.

To the notes of Joe Perrino’s Canzoni di Malavita, the film offers a bitter, authentic look at the life of prisoners and their daily struggle to reintegrate into society.
