It’s an ordinary day. Ships sail off, people stay ashore waiting. Something unexpected occurs.
A ship collides with a small boat, which capsizes after being hit by a wave. There are cries, men stuck in the hold, fishermen are out in the cold days on end crammed in a dinghy. On shore, people are crying after having heard the news, they’re preparing for mourning, and they are waiting for a ray of sunshine that could maybe bring live people. The dates won’t be forgotten, and the scars stay in the body and mind of those who experienced it.
