Synopsis

On board a ferry, a series of passengers cross a river from one riverbank to the other. Some of the travellers wrap themselves in silence and observe the unfamiliar fellow travellers or contemplate the scenery. Some others chat, perhaps to liven up the voyage and speed up time. The journey on the waters expands unexpectedly, the destination shore seems to be delayed, the magnitude of space is blurred.
