‘La isla’ shows a group of men recording their own experience of survival in the Pacific Ocean: 14 ordinary men have to survive in a remote and wild island without more resources than their own skills for a month. Without food, water, tools or a place to shelter, they have to fight for their existence. They are alone on the island, so each moment is recorded and narrated by themselves. ‘La isla' is not a contest, it’s a vital experience whose prize is to survive.
