    • Synopsis
    • This harbour receives long-distance sailors – singles, younger and older couples, families with children. These are the people who travel the world’s oceans as a way of life. While crossing the Atlantic, they make a brief stop in this harbour: they wash their sails, repair their boats, look for unity with the universe and make paintings on the harbour’s wall. Far from the rest of the world, simple everyday things are much more noticeable here: friendships and goodbyes, spiritual awakenings and losses. The season is short – soon, the sailboats leave and the harbour grows quiet. But the paintings left by the sailors are still here. Until the next season.
