"San Benedetto del Tronto is the second biggest port on the Adriatic and one of the largest in Italy. The dangers of the sea characterise its present and its past. The town is still haunted by the sinking of the Rodi, an offshore fishing boat, 50 years ago, and the seamen it took to their deaths. Today, deep-sea fisherman Pietro Ricci continues to brave the sea for his work, a dangerous job that has put his life at risk several times. "
