Description:

"In a fascinating tale set aboard an ocean liner, we meet 1900 (Tim Roth), a gifted piano player who has lived his entire life on this floating vessel. From birth to adulthood, he discovers and experiences the world through interactions with diverse passengers, forming strong connections along the way. Remarkably, he never steps foot on land, even for love – his life's entirety revolves around the ship's journey. As years pass by, the ocean liner appears to be facing potential destruction. An old band member grows concerned and fears that 1900 might still be aboard, demonstrating an unwavering loyalty to the vessel that has been his home for all of his days.""Throughout the film, themes of isolation, personal growth within confined spaces, and the complex relationships formed on a microcosmic community are explored. The story not only showcases 1900's musical virtuosity but also delves into his emotional journey as he grapples with the concept of home, identity, and loss.""The narrative is interwoven with elements of drama, suspense, and a touch of nostalgia as we witness 1900's life unfold, framed against the backdrop of an ever-changing world outside the ship. The audience is left to ponder how one can form such deep connections in the most unexpected places."
