The holothuria, also called sea cucumber, is a primeval sea dweller. In Japan, Indonesia and other Asian countries, the very expensive and refined delicacy is prized by the wealthy population.
Larus Grimsson and Gudmundur Sigursson are among the few sea cucumber fishermen. The protein- and mineral-rich sea cucumber is worth a fortune when it lands on a chef's table; a kilo of sea cucumber can cost up to €2000! However, as holothuriums become increasingly rare, Larus and Gudmundur have to rethink. Their friend, the tanner Hlynur, is already further ahead. He has discovered that the fish skins and scales are not worthless waste, but make a very soft, tear-resistant leather.
