The Old Man and the Sea follows Santiago, an old Cuban fisherman who has gone 84 days without catching a single fish. Seen as unlucky by his village, he rows far out into the Gulf Stream alone and hooks a giant marlin. What follows is a days-long struggle between man and fish, will and exhaustion, pride and survival. The story asks a simple but deeply human question: what does it mean to win when you have lost everything?
