On 3 October 2013, a boat carrying 500 Eritrean refugees sunk off the coast of the Italian island Lampedusa. More than 360 people drowned. Abraham, one of the survivors, walks through a graveyard of shipwrecks and vividly remembers the nightmarish experience. Meanwhile, chaos breaks loose at the harbour, whilst hundreds of coffins are being loaded onto a military ship.
Morgan Knibbe graduated from the Netherlands Film Academy in 2012 with his short experimental film A Twist in The Fabric of Space selected for the IDFA and awarded with Wildcard by the Netherlands Filmfund. His second short film is Shipwreck. Currently, Morgan is developing a feature-length film which will revolve around the lives of refugees at the borders of Europe.
