ROBINSON & CRUSOE
A roof surrounded by ocean. Two men meet here after a disaster. One speaks several European languages. The other a strange kind of gibberish of some Oriental origin. The ocean is the only witness to their struggles to find a common language so they can initially meet their need for survival, and later on enjoy their ‘bounty’, dream of their past and decide about their future and a new life…
