The town of Siniscola, which lies near the eastern coast of Sardinia, reaches out to the sea thanks to its hamlet of Santa Lucia. Santa Lucia is now a splendid seaside resort that bewitches visitors with its enchanting beaches and the green pine forest that protects the coast. But Santa Lucia is above all a hamlet where the sea is intertwined with everyday life: born as a fishing village, it still maintains all the activities related to fishing. It seems as if time has stood still in some corners of the village: gestures are the same as they have always been, traditions are steeped in the power of the sea, and voices seem like calls, coded messages to defy the waves, to ingratiate themselves with the tides.
