Seafarers – A Tale of a Young Sailor
SKÖNÄRIT
‘We haven’t seen land or a beacon for several hours’ Captain Louko writes in the S/S Mercur’s logbook on the fateful evening of 8 December 1925, when the weather is both foggy and windy. A century later, the half-seaman of the ship, young Jalmar ‘Jallu’ Yrjänen introduces five distant ports for us. An archive based collage film. All the S8-films and other archive materials were found in one little port town, Rauma, located on the Baltic Sea coast in west Finland.
