This essay film tells of the ocean as a place of yearning, of the world of giant container ships and their crews, and the women that wait for them in ports and drinking holes. The protagonists' thoughts are rendered as inner monologues in voiceover, all set to striking documentary images. Sandy represents all the women willing to give themselves to strange men, the perfect complement for the desire of all those roaming restlessly from port to port. The film has an affectionate eye for this eccentric former prostitute, for her body marked by life, lust, and the men she's met, as well as for her free, yet romantic idea of love. She is a siren and Penelope in equal measure. The voices of the various sailors come to symbolise all the men who risk their lives facing dangers at sea and temptations on shore, much like Odysseus once did.
Alone among men on board gigantic freighters, the director travelled to 16 countries and lived with prostitutes in various harbour towns. From these experiences she has created a film whose impressive images and haunting soundtrack merge into a maritime symphony, a narrative of freedom, longing, love, and desire. berlinale 2015

如诗般的影像记录，女人在低语和抽泣，男人在奔波和狂欢，命运如船。如一部长篇MV，或是王家卫式电影的纪录片版。“海员像恐怖分子，他们抵达港口，丢下一颗名叫爱的炸弹，接下来会怎样？当他们离开的时候，炸弹爆炸了，然后他们再也没回来过……”

“这些海员就像恐怖分子，一入港就向我们掷出爱情的炸弹。”出海的男人醉心于伟大征途，港城的女郎遍沉沦于肉体记忆。 生活是条热滚滚的河，爱怨离合，平淡或跌宕，都得趟过去。Evangelia Kranioti以宏大远景和非线性叙事，质询着欲望和真实的边界。
