The film unfolds above the murmuring waves of the central Mediterranean, where the drama of survival plays out on the stage of the sea and sky: immigrant vessels, specks in the deep, moving under the gaze of mechanical hawks. The aerial specters weave a tapestry of surveillance along the maritime border, pioneering the imagination, outlining the vision of sovereignty and order. The detached rhythm of surveillance drones hums in the silent air, casting long shadows on the blue surface of the water in this liminal zone where hope and despair dance together; this indifferent violence casts a deep shadow on the blue surface, its silence more piercing than the primal cries for survival aboard migrant vessels.
