D: A sailing boat is at anchor in a bay off of a Sicilian island. Naomi, a young Japanese woman, after having lost custody of her six year-old son, Ken, will be spending her last four days with him on board the boat of her father-in-law. In a hostile environment, Naomi faces the difficulty of approaching Ken under the controlling glare of the crew. Alex notices Naomi's attempts to connect with Ken and eases his control, entering into conflict with the rest of the crew. When Naomi's hopes seem lost Ken starts to take an interest in her, thus reducing the distance between them. The crew, in conflict with the captain, informs the boat's owner. Alex, disobeying his employer's wishes, takes Naomi and Ken to a beach where they can be alone and bond for the first time. Back on the boat, a timeless day magnifies the weight of their last goodbye and when Ken falls asleep, Naomi must leave. Watching the boat sail away, Naomi sees Ken for one last time. (Cinemax)

Another one of a number of movies where the atmosphere of the specific location is at the center of attention. In this case it was the yacht and the Mediterranean Sea, and the film completely lacks any action, story, character’s past or anything that could tell us more about the characters, who clearly have some issues. The film certainly contains some decent acting performances, and I had no problem watching it from the beginning till the end. On the other hand, I doubt that I will remember the film after a few days. Mostly because due to the lack of information it did not leave a single emotion. Intentionally.
