Between Home
Director Jack Rath
Countries Germany, Australia
Duration 95 min
Synopsis
When Nick Jaffe confessed to filmmaker Jack Rath that he was "raw recruit" to sailing and planning a 26.000 km passage around the world it was a clear subject for a film. Filmed over four years, 'Between Home' documents the odyssey of this whiz-kid programmer. The film captures Jaffe's modulation of moods from high frequency stress to debased hilarity. It begins shortly after Jaffe purchases a boat in England. Alone at sea Jaffe keeps a video log, and answers questions given to him before departure. At certain points on Jaffe's voyage, Rath catches up to him in Berlin, England, the Canary Islands, the Caribbean, Long Island, on a road trip across the U.S, and as Jaffe voyages through the Pacific for AU.
