Plot Summary

In winter, inside a shipyard, discipline and precision shape the daily routine of a skipper. Ambrogio Beccaria prepares his boat alongside his team, overseeing technical details and final adjustments. Beneath this surface of competence, traces of a past season, a defeat, and an accident quietly persist. As the days grow shorter and the nights longer, the atmosphere shifts. Concrete labor gives way to a more intimate, nocturnal dimension. Through fragments of memory, archival materials, and abstract imagery, the film drifts between wakefulness and dream, exploring the fragile boundary between control and vulnerability.
