A husband and wife, the parents of two children, decide to cross the ocean in a sailboat. They leave behind their two children who, in the solitude of their empty home, experience a new freedom. In fact, more than the parents, it’s the children who are living a true, personal adventure. But when the parents’ boat sinks, even the family seems to be on the point of succumbing. The only remaining hope is a dog, which has been abandoned on a desert island.

Declaration
film director
“The parents’ trip exposes two worlds; the world of youth and the adult world. In the world of youth I concentrate on the manner in which the brother and sister express their conflict and the sense of freedom that after the initial euphoric period becomes ever more burdensome and binding. The brother and sister here are two equal characters – they both represent the remnants of the family. More than the fate of each individual character, I’m interested in how the ‘family’ reconstitutes itself without the presence of the mother and father.”
