Eveline 2020

Overview

The multilingual landscape, together with the continuous and repetitive image of the sea, are the elements that represent her inner, emotional space. There is a sudden interruption of the film: breaking news. Moving images and photos of an Irish Navy’s ship whose name is Lé James Joyce, and had the mission to save refugees in the Mediterranean Sea; simultaneously, a girl sings a contemporary song, inconsistent with the form and action of the film. Is this girl Eveline in 2020, or maybe not? We return to the third part of the film and the narrative flow of Joyce’s short story. A ship, a black ship. Is it the ship of the journey that Eveline denied, or is it the ship that the refugees are hoping for?
