VRACHT – Documentary Feature
Onboard the Panerai container ship, the young sailor Rudmer dreams of becoming a captain himself one day. Shot over the course of four years, the film offers a rare glimpse into the tough life aboard a cargo ship on the Rhine, while capturing an intimate story of growing up amid Europe's industrial ports and terminals.
On a container ship, the young sailor Rudmer dreams of becoming a captain himself one day. When newcomer Tycho comes on board, Rudmer is annoyed by his colleague's laziness. He tries to motivate Tycho, but he leaves the ship. His place is taken by Leanne, with whom Rudmer quickly builds up trust. But their closeness only lasts for a short time, as Leanne decides to switch to another ship.
