Synopsis

Corto Maltese is along the shores of Central America conducting a search for a lost continent. A premonition hovers over the entire dreamlike story, as if fate had decided in advance that this would be Corto Maltese's last adventure. The feeling is underscored by the return of many of the major characters seen throughout the long-running saga.
