Ahti Ikonen is the captain of a large container ship. When pressed for time while moored in Savannah, he violates regulations by ordering his crew to help the local dockworkers unload the cargo. When a crew member dies as a result, Ahti has to accept responsibility. News of the incident spreads, and at the next harbour Ahti is faced with union workers calling for a boycott. This remarkable debut exhibits great calm in depicting the story of a solitary, ambivalent hero, whose feelings of guilt erupt in highly emotional moments – such as when Ahti picks a fight in a Rotterdam harbour pub with workers who refuse to join the boycott because they don't care about the fate of the dead crew member. Or when he struggles to maintain his composure while singing "A Horse With No Name" in front of his crew. (Berlinale)

The story revolves around a captain of a naval ship where a Filipino man dies in an accident during loading, which the captain is responsible for. For the rest of the movie, you watch the thought processes of the captain, who is played by a Finnish actor Tommi Korpela. The director also focuses on the crew, which looks like they’re from all over the world, and the quality falters a little bit since the shots are long and boring. The psychology is depicted mostly with the captain’s character so when you’re not watching him but some Filipinos, it’s awfully boring.
