Urk

When tragedy at sea claims a young seaman's life, the whole Urk fleet unites in a recovery mission, and Urkers mourn the loss of another son. While fishermen ply remote seas for weeks at a time, their families wait anxiously for their safe return. As one fisherman says, "I never leave home without saying goodbye, because if you lose your life at sea, for your mother it wouldn't be nice that she didn't get to say goodbye." Against the stunning backdrop of Urk and the tempestuous North Sea, amazingly candid first-person reflections are woven into a beautiful tapestry of pride, faith, fatalism-- and loss.
