In a faraway place, far from urban arteries, a man assembles his watermelon stall. Scarce local drivers pass him by unconcerned. Only tourists stop to take a photo with such peculiar attraction. The business can, by no means, be profitable and if this was not enough, on the other side of the gravel road competition appears. The film depicts one day from a watermelon seller’s life.
