In the frozen waters of the North Sea, fishing boats that defy the elements find themselves face to face with nature’s most ruthless side. Directed by Harry Watt, this film reimagines the harsh reality of their plight at the intersection of drama and documentary. As the crew’s struggle, trapped amid the waves, unfolds on screen, the salt from the damp decks seems to reach right into the viewer’s skin. The camera captures the limits of human will without any embellishment.
