The short life of a primordial marine creature and the millions of years of a scoop of sand. A cunning sail boat and a shy warship. An old fisherman, a little boy who will become one, and another who perhaps will be one. An extraordinary little girl who loved the sea so much as to become part of it. The crowd of a sandy beach that went up in arms to save a baby whale trapped ashore but it had nothing to do with swimmers. A Roman time legionnaire and his secret connection to the emperor and to the sea. An ancient love story and an island that came to life. A family struggling with routine problems but also with ghost pirates and hidden treasures. The Mediterranean sea like a connecting thread, a soundtrack and a protagonist of these stories.
