QUICK AND DIRTY: LIVE FROM TALLINNMorning. 40-year-old Sato wakes up, surrounded by bagged-up piles of manga, used food packaging and drink cans. The used food packaging squelches as he stretches into it. He is a slob.

Waves crash against the shoreline, where 46-year-old Smaragda (Niovi Charalambous) sits staring out to sea with a blank countenance.

Although a very different creature, Freight also notes the accelerated process of ageing on a ship lost at sea.
