Charon, the mythic demon sailor over the river Styx, sets off on a journey to recover his mortality. He renounces his role as ferryman for the dead and sails away on a sea of oblivion in search for the archetypical home, the mythical place of his childhood where he can finally abandon his boat and die.
This film is about memory, mortality and time.
