The Herring Smoker

Petter Magnusson has chosen his father's hard job: together they sail the cold waters of the Baltic Sea every morning, casting the nets to catch dozens of herrings to be smoked following the traditional method learned from his family. A work made of sacrifice and solitude, which interconnects the destiny of human beings and nature, that marks its rhythms and times. Davide Monteleone, a National Geographic Explorer, tells through images the extraordinary story of a man who decided to live in close contact with nature and its wide spaces on the hidden island of Gotland, preserving its values and traditions with his work.
