Set on a commercial freighter mysteriously marooned within touching distance of land, Paul Rooney’s seven-minute handheld travelling shot, restlessly circling round the deck of the boat, evokes a state of personal limbo, whose rising anxieties are reflected in an elegantly dissonant Brecht/Weill-influenced soundtrack and in a half-whispered, half-sung monologue haunted by memory and history.

Commissioned as part of ‘Single Shot’. Funded by Arts Council England and the UK Film Council’s New Cinema Fund.
