Friday is a castaway, the only one from his boat to have survived when sailing from Africa to Italy. During his strolls on the island, Robinson confronts his own solitude by keeping a diary - that works like augmented reality - filled with extraordinary beings and events, which both fill and trouble his daily life.
Who’s in it. The Island stars Alexander Balanescu as Robinson, Lucian Ionescu as Friday, Cristina Juncu as The Mermaid and Ada Milea as Mary.
