And then you weren’t there is a documentary work about the grieving process after the passing of a father. A process that takes a physical and practical expression in creating a burial device. The work is based on the father’s love and longing for the sea, the dreams back to the sailing adventures in his youth. About the smell of tar and the romantic image of the hard life on old sailing ships.
