Two Years at Sea

Image of Two Years at Sea by Ben Rivers (2011)

Synopsis

A man called Jake lives in the middle of the forest. He goes for walks in whatever the weather, and takes naps in the misty fields and woods. He builds a raft to spend time sitting in a loch. Drives a beat-up jeep to pick up wood supplies. He is seen in all seasons, surviving frugally, passing the time with strange projects, living the radical dream he had as a younger man, a dream he spent two years working at sea to realise.


Two Years At Sea will be release in selected cinemas across the UK by Soda Pictures on Friday 4 May.
