Boat Dreams

Synopsis

A cautionary tale of three characters whose DIY projects have got out of hand. Each has bought a landlocked craft in varying degrees of dilapidation. Will they break out of the boat 'graveyard' or remain on land, their vessels an alternative shed; a place for dreaming with no destination necessary?
