Australia Y Oceanía

Juan y su pandilla de verano construyen una barca muy especial, con vida propia: La Gaviota. Los pescadores, llenos de envidia y maldad, intentarán acabar con la extraña barca, que sale a la mar sola, por las noches, y vuelve siempre a la playa al amanecer.

During the American Civil War, the United States was on the brink of falling apart irrevocably. As states seceded and brother turned against brother, hope for reconciliation was dim.
