SYNOPSIS

At the start of WWII, Salvatore Todaro commands the Italian Royal Navy submarine Cappellini. One dark night he sinks an armed merchant ship. At that moment, he makes a decision to save the 26 shipwreacked Belgians who otherwise would have drowned in the middle of the ocean and disembarks them at the nearest safe harbor, as prescribed by the law of the sea. To make room for them on board his submarine, he is forced to navigate on the surface of the water for three days, visible to the enemy forces and endangering his life and that of his men.
