Outline

The movie will be a documentary / biography about myself (very narcissistic) where my boat will be a central symbol of sorts ... The idea is to make the boat into some sort of allegory for a timeline other than its own. Now it is wintertime, and the boat is laying on dry land, as most boats in Norway do. This time will represent my childhood, and I will look back in time and give some information about the past. Central to this will be the fact that my mother died when I was three, and later my father died when I was 13. But there is always a new spring comming, and it will get warmer in the weather again. Very classic life/death allegory of course, but hard to avoid too. I will focus on visual and audial elements in the movie as the most important, almost hiding the real story underneath, as I always have a custom of doing ... Hopefully the movie will end with the boat being put on sea, floating, not sinking, without too much sentimentality and such ... I guess that will be part of the challenge.
