Contents/Summary

Summary
The movie is about the tumultuous years of the final period of World War II in Romania. When a Romanian port on the Danube is sabotaged by partisans, the Germans ask for a barge to collect what is left after the explosion. Bargee Mihai, takes along his new wife, Ana, on his voyage up the Danube, despite wartime bombs and mines, but it ultimately proves to be a journey of personal discovery for them both. It’s 1944, and his cargo of arms for the retreating Germans, as well as the convergence of Nazi “protectors,” newly insurgent partisans, and suspicious crew members, mark him as a man in the middle, faced with an unexpected moral choice.
