Plot: The story of Salvatore Todaro, a submarine commander of the Royal Italian Navy who, during World War II, disobeyed to the orders to save the 26 men who had tried to sink him, accepting the risk of navigating on the surface until reaching his destination: because for him, the law of the sea was more important than the law of war.
