To the North, a film
by Mihai Mican

Based on a true story. 1996, open sea.
During  his  shift on  a transatlantic ship’s deck, Joel, a religious Filipino   sailor, discovers Dumitru, a Romanian   stowaway hidden between some containers. If  he  is  spotted by the Taiwanese officers running the  vessel, Dumitru is at risk to be thrown overboard. Joel decides to hide him, as a sign of his gratitude towards God. Soon,  a dangerous cat and mouse game  begins. When his crew, his own friends, even God itself start to turn their backs on him, Joel learns that he has to face his cruel destiny alone.
