A freighter crosses the ocean. The hypnotic rhythm of its pace reveals the continuous movement of the machinery devouring its workers: the old sailor's gestures disappearing under the mechanical and impersonal pulse of the 21st century. Maybe it’s just a boat adrift, or maybe it’s the last example of the endangered species with engines still running.
