Per rimanere in Italia, profuga lituana sposa un marinaio di Stromboli, ma la vita di una straniera sull'isola è dura.

A Portuguese tuna fisherman catches his bride with his first mate.

Bananas, eggs, and tuna: three basic foodstuffs with three wildly different points of origin. Moullet begins with these on his plate but constructs his film by working backwards and finding the sources for these items and how they reach our plates. As Moullet’s investigation deepens, however, the film moves beyond the confines of a simple exploration of food origins into more political and social realms, not only relating to food but also to the medium of film.

With Pete Smith providing dry off-screen commentary, we watch some serious fishing: a marlin caught near Catalina, a hammerhead shark caught then wrestled in a small rowboat near Baja, the largest (721 pounds) great white shark caught to date in California waters, Chinook Indians catching salmon at Celilo Falls in Oregon - each with his designated place on the river where his ancestors stood, and, last, a crew on a boat off Mexico hoisting and hurling tuna using unbarbed hooks (baited only with a feather) as fast as they can as long as the school is there - backbreaking work - but a $25,000 catch.

Film director Branko Belan follows the journey of fishermen as they set out to catch tuna around the Velebit Channel.

Rick Rosenthal goes on a quest that plumbs the secrets of the legendary bluefin tuna. This fish can weigh up to 1,500 pounds and can move up to 50 miles per hour. Here he catches a bluefin tuna on camera.

Il documentario prende ispirazione dall'omonimo libro Diario di Tonnara dello scrittore Ninni Ravazza. La storia racconta i borghi, le comunità e le avventure che hanno scandito la vita quotidiana dei pescatori del tonno. Una comunità che si sviluppa sul mare e che dal mare mutua le leggende, i riti magici e la sacralità. Diario di Tonnara è un documento che dipinge a tinte oniriche ma fortemente realistiche un mondo destinato ad essere relegato nel cantuccio della tradizione. Un universo fatto di racconti, di storie tramandate di generazione in generazione e di una ritualità che oggi fatica ad essere ricordata. Rais e tonnaroti, offrono, in Diario di Tonnara, lo spunto per descrivere la Sicilia del mare, quella ancorata alla tradizione, fatta di valori primordiali e nobili dei quali, ancora, si sente l'eco in tutta l'Isola ed oltre.

The director explains his love for tuna meat which was in his family for generations.

First short film by director Jorge Grau, about tuna fishing, with a look somewhere between tourism and anthropology.
