Kapitäne

This documentary film portrays five captains. It shows their everyday life on board, and how they fulfill their duties and make decisions. But it goes far beyond: Viewers get to know the captains as people with values, as human beings that also deal with topics such as family and home. The captains' stories tell a lot more than about life at sea. The narrative style is documentary in the classical sense: It is only the captains who speak, there is no voiceover. Their own words and the pictures let viewers gain a very close insight into the captains' lives. Hamburg, the German port known as "gate to the world", creates the cinematic parenthesis of this documentary. All captains portrayed have a close relation to Hamburg - they live or work there or come to Hamburg with their ships every now and then.

Waaaaaayyyyy better than I thought it would be based on the previews.

Not a Predictable script

Great movie! Cinematography was excellent and scenes were superb.

Great cinematography. Anything Iko Eiben does is worth watching.

A good one-time watch. Rainer Stange is amazingl!

Günther Rieck and Iko Eiben were the perfect match for this film.

Very good movie with great scenes. Would strongly recommend watching this
