Film Details

Can a young woman who forsakes her landlubber boyfriend for months on end to work as a mechanic on an ocean freighter remain faithful to him—especially when she’s the only female on a boat full of men and the ship’s captain is an old flame? The Hollywood Reporter summarizes this gorgeous, widescreen adventure as “high passions on the high seas,” commenting that the film’s title “hints at wide-ranging cultural depths, combining as it does Beethoven, Homer and Lewis Carroll.” “Easily the most fascinating film to come along and challenge traditional gender roles in the past year…Truly unique." –Variety. Subtitles. DCP. 95 min.
