The Blue Boat




Synopsis

Levi dreams of sailing his father Nathan’s boat out towards the Golden Gate. The problem is that Nathan has vowed to never take the Sandra on the water again, instead letting it collect junk and filth at its mooring at Aquatic Park. Nathan is more resigned to sitting in his berth and wallowing in the memory of his long lost wife Sandy in between shots of whiskey. As the days pass and the two survive by collecting money from and pickpocketing the tourists that come to watch Nathan perform sea shanties at San Francisco’s Fisherman’s Wharf, Levi’s anxiety grows while his dream of sailing seems to slowly drift out to sea.
