Images from a small shipyard somewhere in Greece. Water, bodies, ropes, chains, wood and metal in a filmic poem in black and white 16mm. Between the repair of boats and their sailing anew, a few men pull them ashore and push them back into the water, once repaired. This in-between is an intense yet gentle time slot, like the choral interlude of an ancient tragedy made of gestures and movements that swing from closeness to distance, from bonding to detachment, from tension to tenderness.
