Movie description:
Johnno is ten years old, deaf, and always in trouble. He lives in a small fishing town, and shares his love of the sea with Tony, an Italian fisherman ridiculed by Johnno’s dad and the rest of the townspeople. When Johnno’s sister leaves for a boarding school, Johnno is devastated and runs away to a nearby island. The town is thrown into panic, and the only person who may be able to find Johnno is Tony.
