SYNOPSIS
Young electrician Janek boards a European freighter and sets sail on a long voyage to learn about his missing father. The massive ship appears to be a vast, empty labyrinth, its corridors illuminated only by the protagonist, who replaces the fluorescent tubes. During the voyage, the boy searches for traces of his father while simultaneously embarking on an affair with an older woman, who later suffers an accident. The woman is in serious condition, and the young electrician begins to be suspected of causing the unfortunate incident. The boy tries to defend himself. He investigates, thus clashing with the crew, who are hiding their own dark secret from Janek.
