He loved, drank and lived foolishly, never truly living on land. Now he is turning eighty. Both him and his boat are unfit to sail. He drinks a liter of vodka a day and contemplates life and death. What is at the end of such a journey? Is there loneliness? What is the relationship between freedom and selfishness? Does fulfilling a dream always have a bitter end?<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201eI am a sailor. I have sailed the Atlantic Ocean. When I arrived at the island of Martinique after 35 days on sea, I knew right there and then. I am ready to sail again. I want to spend my whole life at sea. Sailors talk about the sea as if it were a person, a woman actually, a very wise one, who is trying to teach us, to communicate with us. In time, I met people who talk as well as live with her, people calling themselves \u201cSea gypsies\u201d. Their boats don\u2019t have a flag of their home country, because the sea represents their nationality, their religion, their home. They have been sailing for decades and when they talk, one can hear the rhythm of the waves in their voice. Then I met Johnson. I met him at the door of a small supermarket in Harvey Vale Bay on Carriacou Island. We looked at each other and we knew that we are of the same kind.<\/em>\u201c said the director.<\/p>\n<p>Slovak and co-production documentaries at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hotdocs.ca\/p\/hot-docs-festival\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hot Docs<\/a> festival (e.g.):<br \/>\n<strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/sfu.sk\/en\/films\/the-white-world-according-to-daliborek\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The White World According to Daliborek<\/a><\/em><\/strong> (dir.
