A sad story about a day in the life of an old captain, now retired. The sadness of this story is softened by a noble dose of humor.

Each collision of dream and reality evokes both a slight pain and a smile of understanding. With the help of subtle, unobtrusive details, the director has managed to create the impression of a life that is passing away, sailing away, saying goodbye.
