An unusual group sets sail from St. Petersburg to Finland. The crew, which consists of vision-impaired people and people with normal eyesight, learns to work together in order to successfully complete their undertaking. The observational documentary shows the crew’s first contact with the boat, which is done by touch, and then follows their daily routine while at sea. The disinterested camera records a reality that overcomes our prejudices regarding the helplessness of blind people. The problem-free journey gives the sailors space for new sensations. Excerpts from the ship’s log show us aspects of the mission – i.e., the transformation of oneself that can change the world.

The reserved seat carriages of the train, trees flicker outside the window, they are replaced by waves and the sea, the roar of the engine, the serpentine. He and she. Kobuleti, Georgia, hospitable people and difficult relationships against the backdrop of measured local life.
