Raúl records his routine on the high seas with a mini VHS. It's 1991. On board his first ship, the Raúl Primero, he records what words can't explain. On dry land, his son, Adrián, has just been born. Thirty years later, Adrián embarks for the Gran Sol, guided by those old recordings that his father filmed between networks, storms and dawns. In the solitude of the boat, with the engine vibrating in the chest and the wind hitting the deck, he tries to understand the distance that separated them. Recording his own journey, between memories and movement, he finds a way to approach, as if filming he could tell his father what he never dared to pronounce.

Jiří Bartoška, a charismatic glossator of the surrounding world and the owner of one of the most interesting domestic destinies of the past half century, was far from looking at himself admiringly in the mirror of memories. The president of the Karlovy Vary Film Festival vehemently rejected proposals for a biographical book or a film portrait, annoyed by the pathos associated with official versions of his life stories. All the more valuable is the bard's sympathetically informal interview with producer Milan Kuchynka, in which he touches on a variety of topics - from high school studies to the Velvet Revolution to meetings with stars - with insightful ease, sharp irony and loving wisdom.
