Ahoy!

On a planet consumed by the sea, a colony of survivors live out their days on a big, resilient old longshore fishing boat converted to meet their post-apocalyptic needs while raising a young boy on the verge of teenage-hood and endless curious about the world. On the eve of a massive storm, Ahoy seizes an opportunity and diverts the ship and its crew toward land for the first time in decades. After getting caught up in a terrifying swell, Ahoy awakens to see his plan worked, but the sight of land is a harrowing reminder of a lost world: a pathetic strip of a barrier island being swallowed by the sea. The film ends with Ahoy’s realization that the old world is not for him, and his world is on that boat. He is comforted by his family, he lets his cherished old map be taken by the wind, and he looks on toward the horizon and his future.
