Moby Dick: after Herman Melville
Ishmael loves the oceans. He prefers to spend his time as a sailor, deep in the forecastle, high in the crow's nest or right in front of the mast. When he hears the call of the sea for the umpteenth time, he decides to sign on a whaler together with the Indian harpooner Queequeg. Adventure beckons, danger is closer than Ishmael could ever imagine...
Only after 5 days on the Pequod does the strange captain appear. Ahab is a terrifying, grim figure. The one-legged captain seems inscrutable. And he has only one goal: to kill the white whale Moby Dick. It becomes a hellish quest, because Moby Dick is overwhelming, mysterious and deadly.
Ed Franck makes Herman Melville's classic unforgettable in this clever adaptation. An adventurous, exciting journey along unknown seas. But above all a powerful story about fate, good and evil, man and God.
