Synopsis: A woman living in a small Newfoundland town labours all day on land while she awaits her husband’s boat to return from sea. While she longs to be out on the water as well, she is expected to be anchored to their home, where her labour is solitary and unseen. As she goes through her tasks, the “feminine” and “masculine” alike, she is reminded that she has everything she needs to be free.
