The documentary, recalls the history of the “Pescarese” competition, from the beginning until the years of great success and then to the final cancellation. Following the several events that changed it, the documentary open a break on the Italian and the international automotive industry developments, and on the history of racers and big names who became part of the legend, such as Ferrari, Fangio, Nuvolari, Moss and many others. Through the evolutions of this path, we will see the transformations of a city, of a social contest, of an entire nation, about its customs and traditions and its politics. 
Thanks to the collaboration of Richard Williams, and the contribution of fans and historians, the documentary has lot of interviews, photos, statements and footages (most of them unpublished), which return an accurate and authentic portrait, never realized before, about Coppa Acerbo.
