Konfessions of a Klabautermann

A video collage comprising multiple threads loosely anchored around male maritime coming-of-age rites.
Hardeep Pandhal raps to a score composed with Joe Howe as we are dragged through a cartoon world marked by male fears of floods, bordering between the homely and the gratuitous.
