Documental sobre la vida cotidiana de los habitantes de las islas de Aran. Muestra la lucha diaria por la supervivencia, el enfrentamiento entre el hombre y la naturaleza y, sobre todo, la dureza del trabajo en la mar, realizado por unos hombres que consideran que morir ahogado es el tributo obligatorio que hay que pagar al monstruo del mar. Se centra en las tareas cotidianas de una familia de isleños: hacer hoyos en la roca viva y llenarlos con tierra para poder plantar en ellos sus escasos cultivos, la recolección y transporte de algas, la salida de los hombres al mar, el sufrimiento y la constante amenaza de peligros y privaciones.
