Synopsis:
On board a ferry, a series of passengers cross a river from one side to the other. Some of the travelers wrap themselves in silence and observe the unfamiliar fellow travelers or contemplate the scenery. Some others chat, perhaps to liven up the voyage and speed up time. The journey on the waters seems to expand, the arrival to the other shore is postponed, the magnitude of space is blurred. Motion itself is perhaps the only certainty.
