Synopsis
At the Croatian shipyard "3 Maj," production comes to a halt, and a space usually filled with the noise of work falls silent for a year. The film observes this pause as a portrait of a place, while also revealing the social and economic consequences of privatisation, political interference and an uncertain future.
