The film is set in the 30’s, when the large cruise ship ‘Chimera’ sails off in search of Newstria. Businessmen, bourgeois, artists, musicians, sailors, workers, chefs and the captain with his daughter are all traveling on board in search of a better tomorrow. Gradually though, things start going south. Someone spots a water ingress at the cargo hold. A leak at the engine room ensues. The ship begins to tilt. The captain calmly watches from the bridge deck. Nobody is alarmed as they all believe that when they reach Newstria they will be saved. Except the ship never reaches Newstria. It sinks… leaving only one survivor behind. |
