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 experi- ence. Meanwhile, chaos breaks loose at the harbour, whilst hundreds of coffins are being loaded onto a military ship. (Helsinki International Film Festival)
