On this beach, a graveyard of ships where only half-dead rusty carcasses remain, a group of fearless men tame sleeping giants every day. They depend on it to feed their families. After diving countless times into the murky waters filled with sediment, they drag the giants weighing hundreds of kilos to shallower waters by the force of their arms. It's a titanic struggle that sometimes lasts all day, which they can only overcome with courage, tenacity and mutual help. At the end of the day they can sell the meat of the giants for a measly 150 dollars a ton.
