Unlike all the other boats heading to the Southern Ocean, Infinity is no ice-reinforced super-yacht crewed by professional sailors; rather, Infinity lives in the moment and sails on a whim. What can be found in abundance on board is blood, sweat, enthusiasm, risk tolerance, disdain for authority, and an ample supply of alcohol – all in all a mad voyage of reckless adventure just for the sheer joy of it. Along the way the crew will battle a hurricane of ice in the Ross Sea, assist the radical environmental group Sea Shepherd in their fight with illegal whalers, and tear every sail they have.

There is a plethora of chores to be done on the farm: animals to feed, fields to plough and tree trunks to be chopped.

For Ababacar and Mbaye - two Senegalese immigrants who met and established a great friendship in Buenos Aires - the challenge goes beyond adapting to the customs and living conditions in Argentina, or dealing with the indifference and racism they suffer on a daily basis: both came to an instance of their lives in which they must define a course, and in turn accept that their identities and needs have become more complex. The decision to leave their country was driven by the urgent objective of financially supporting their families, but the stay in Buenos Aires crossed them with new people, new ways of seeing things, and even an economic situation different from that which they found at home. Their different ways of seeing things allow them to see in each other a different version of themselves.

Bratislava is a medium-sized European city. From an economic point of view, however, it belongs to the fastest developing regions of our continent. There is a constant hustle and bustle here. The city is becoming denser and developers are dividing up the last green areas. Buildings, often insensitively located, push out our inconspicuous neighbors from Bratislava. We start to miss them - so we look for replacements. We subconsciously feel that we are part of nature. But at the same time we also need a city. We live here, work here, go to school, shop in countless supermarkets. We enjoy walking through the old streets and along the Danube embankment. We live, or perhaps rather survive, in a city environment. On the fortified banks of the Danube, in the middle of concrete and asphalt. But fortunately, we are not alone here, as evidenced by the attentiveness of filmmaker Branislav Molnár.
