Tension throbs like a ship's engine beneath Mihai Mincan's fiction feature debut. Moral values are also all at sea in his tale of a stowaway aboard a container ship heading from Spain to Canada. The mood is more of that of a western than a chamber piece, after Romanian Dumitri (Niko Beker) and his Bulgarian friend Georgi (Dimitar Vasilev) sneak aboard the vessel, which they believe is bound for America, their hope of a new life almost heartbreakingly simple.
Georgi, whose American Dream is to become a cowboy, is first to break cover, approaching one of the Filipino crew with a sweet smile and the word "amigo". The troubled look he receives from bosun Joel (Soliman Cruz) immediately creates tension and, though he is initially given food and water, the hierarchy on the ship soon becomes apparent, with a Taiwanese captain and his officer crew much less welcoming to their unexpected guest.
