Seven lost souls wait for a ship to nowhere — absurdist poetry or profound truth? Both.
The journey on the edge of an ocean of a poet, two terrorists, a film-maker, a reporter and two lovers, in search of a ship leaving for Nowhere. A ship like hope for all those who wait: the misguided, the misaligned, the displaced, the exiles that we are at certain times, that we are one day or another, a little earlier, a little later.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Shot during the collapse of Yugoslavia, the film's 'Nowhere' destination resonated with 1990s European anxieties about borders and belonging.
