✦ Synopsis
"At The Onetti Shipyard, he approaches an almost perfect balance, an artistic economy that is somewhat miraculous."
Mario Benedetti
Returning to the hallucinatory city of Santa María, working in the Petrus shipyard and falling in love with his daughter is for Larsen the last chance to find meaning. However, very soon this attempt turns into a rigorous farce: there is nothing to do in a paralyzed and dilapidated shipyard, nor is it possible to love voluntarily. Despite the fact that life excludes him, Larsen continues undaunted in his role, as if he does not want to look a world in danger of extinction in the face, or perhaps because pretending is the only possible way out against madness.
