Why we chose it

Eight people share twenty square metres on the yacht where Dario and Sabine Schwörer have been sailing for twenty-five years, and all six of their children were born during the voyage. Livia Vonaesch filmed them for seven years. On board, there’s nowhere to go off and sulk.

Synopsis

This family lives on a yacht out on the open ocean. Biologists Dario and Sabine Schwörer sail to places climate researchers rarely reach, collecting plastic and data and meeting schools in every port. Their children have grown up on deck and know no other home, but the older ones are starting to ask their parents about school, about friends, about a room of their own.
