In the Middle Ages, pirates and robbers lived on the Talab Islands, and now their descendants, fishermen, live here. Over the centuries, the huts have been equipped with electricity and showers, and boat oars have been replaced with motors, but the locals still have to live outside the law: fishing quotas are too small to feed a family. The residents of Talab continue to play cat and mouse with fishery inspectors. Every morning, relying on luck and experience, the fishermen sail to their native lake to check their nets.
