In 1941, nearly 800 Romanian Jews boarded a small and dilapidated cattle boat, desperately seeking a safe haven in Palestine. The ship’s engine failed, leaving them stranded in the Black Sea. They limped to Istanbul Harbor, hoping for permission to dock and resupplies. However, caught between political pressures and wartime neutrality, Turkish authorities refused to allow the passengers to disembark. The documentary explores the desperate plight of the refugees crammed aboard the overcrowded and deteriorating ship, facing dwindling supplies and fading hope.
