Rowing Europe
A different frontier
A Turk and an Austrian embark on a journey down the Danube river the all the way to the Black Sea. The wooden boat becomes their floating microcosm. Rowing, cooking, eating, sleeping: The whole life takes place on a tight little space. On their leisurely journey the two men encounter powerful thunderstorms, dark locks – and people they would have never met at home.
