Editing:
A deck chair, size of Titanic, appears with the early morning, a such ghost ship... |
|
| In a cabin, a young woman awakes. His/her companion of bed already rose. This woman has "pockets under the eyes". Some glasses and some bottles surround its bed. She leaves to research her companion by surveying the gangways. |
|
| With the turning of a footbridge, the young woman discovers her companion deadened on a long chair. A leaning woman above him, seems to embrace it. The image is fuzzy in its head. |
|
| Is this still the effect of the alcohol of yesterday evening? (yes, the young woman confused a sleeve with air with this woman!) She remembers, in the fog of her imagination, of the tickets of the voyage, the departure, the refusal of alcohol and her drowning in glass... |
|
| She leans with the rail and fall to water. |
|
|
(change of musical movement) The man who until now drowsed, precipitates with the rail. Did it hear the fall? It runs to the poop deck, begs the commander. The commander orders the setting with the water of a launch. |
|
| Research starts but nothing is found. The sea enlarges the oarsmen fight in front of the tempest. the launch is turned over. The men of crew go help. |
|
|
During this time, the young woman is descended to deepest from the ocean, the appaized face.
At the bottom of water, a surreal landscape surrounds it. It consists of objects of voyage
out of scale. Then it discovers a space filled of busts of drowned sailors... It discovers there to it his and that of her lover. |
|
| Any hope to find the woman disappeared, when the man discovers on the surface of water the belt of the young woman. It plunges without hesitating and is inserted deeply. The two lovers meet and embrace themselves. |
|
| On the launch one organized oneself. The commander supervises the operation. A rope of forture at summer sent by the bottom to go up the lovers. Suddenly this rope is tightened! it is a sign! the sailors go up the rope. |
|
| The two inert bodies went up aboard launch. The man and the woman have the fixed eyes. |
|
| The order is given to join the ship. The horn whistles. The deck chair takes again its road and disparait at the horizon. |
