28th Ji.hlava International Documentary Film Festival
Ocean
synopsis
The director and protagonist in one sets sail with her boyfriend on a cargo ship to Hawaii. The goal of their journey is to scatter the ashes of their friend at sea. Using primarily static scenes, this intuitive film presents a highly personal pilgrimage, during which the off-screen commentary touches on language, death and friendship. The result is a light contemplative journal that sails along the tumbling ocean waves and with the lazy passing of time mixes contemplations about Hugh Pratt, releasing weather balloons and thoughts about death.DETAIL:
"It’s strange when you meet someone like that, to help him die."
