Piccolo

A local band led by Victor and Preeti is set in a small picturesque fishing village in the Konkan region of Maharashtra. The Hindu and Christian communities of this village live together in brotherhood. One day there is a fight between the two groups over a property issue and the consequences are so high that it affects Preeti and Victor's music band and members. When matters escalate, the two groups decide to have a deep sea competition, two boats set out to see which group can catch the biggest fish amid news of an impending storm at sea. The villagers, blinded by hatred, do not heed these warnings and leave despite protests from the village women and elders. According to the forecast, a severe storm will hit the village in a few hours with heavy rain and strong winds. The departed boats do not return the next day, and some more able-bodied men go out to sea to search for these fishing boats, the storm continuing. The rest of the village waits anxiously for their men to return, but there is no news for several days, until the police come to the village and tell them that some bodies have been found on the beach 10 km away, but cannot be identified. Big damage from fish bites. Unfortunately the worst is confirmed, the bodies are those of dead men from the village. Although they were strong swimmers, they could not withstand the wrath of the sea. An entire village becomes orphaned in an instant.
