In this film adaptation of Daniel Defoe's classic novel, we follow the epic journey of a young castaway who, after a maritime accident, finds himself stranded on a deserted island in the middle of the ocean. With his heart heavy with despair and fear, he confronts loneliness, but his indomitable spirit drives him to survive. As the days turn into weeks, the protagonist uses his wits to build shelters and forge tools, always holding onto the hope of being rescued.
Nature becomes both his ally and his enemy: he learns to hunt, to farm, and to coexist with the creatures of the land, but he also faces storms and unexpected challenges. Life on the island transforms the man, who evolves from a mere sailor into a true survival expert. The adventure takes a surprising turn when, one day, he discovers another human being: a native whom he names Friday. Their relationship becomes a bond of friendship and collaboration as they face the challenges the island presents together.
With the arrival of pirates, the dangers intensify, and the protagonist must fight not only for his life but also for the freedom of his new friend. The story captures the essence of human resilience, friendship, and the struggle for survival in a hostile environment, leaving a profound reflection on civilization and camaraderie in times of adversity.
