About the Story
Santiago, a once strong, proud man is coming to terms with his failing abilities and age. After many weeks of returning home to his small village, day after day with nothing in his boat, Santiago is forced to accept the other villager's small charities. He resolves to sail out in search of a catch that will redeem his self-confidence, and engages in the battle of his lifetime with a giant marlin.
