Synopsis
A filmmaker hears of an aged ship’s carpenter who knows the fate of the Hollandia, a Norse ship that set sail in 1905 and vanished. The old salt has canisters of film to prove his tale. We see the footage as he narrates. They sail south, meeting no living soul, the crew ignorant of the trip’s purpose, until they reach Antarctica.
