Synopsis

It is an extraordinary testimony of a chapter in soviet history, about the reconstruction and the memories of the sailors abandoned abroad the ship Odessa, moored for years in the port of Naples. This ship belonged to a company that went bankrupt and was sequestered by a court, and was inhabited for years by a phantom crew that survived under extreme conditions (without heating, food or salaries). The story follows their traumatic existence on board, in hospitals, courts, with the hope of recuperating their dignity as men.
