About The Tale of King Crab
Small town in Italy, end of the 19th century. Luciano, a drunk, doesn't fit in the town. Rebelion against authority and a forbidden love makes him to commit a crime accidentally. To pay for his crime, he is forced into exile on the most remote island in the world, Argentina’s Tierra del Fuego. The hunt for the shipwreck treasure hidden on the island becomes his opportunity for redemption.
Directed by Alessio Rigo de Righi, Matteo Zoppis, The Tale of King Crab leans on a strong ensemble — Gabriele Silli, Maria Alexandra Lungu, Ercole Colnago — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2021.
