We filmed the board once, early on, and the office asked us to take it down.
The sheet on the desk is rewritten when the wind changes. The board is repainted in summer.
The reel uses the sheet. People who only saw the board are why the reel exists.
The office is a desk on Strada Mihail Kogălniceanu, a short walk from the landing. The people who call are the landing, the potters, and families who want the hour someone waited. We do not stage a crossing. If the wind stops the boat, we stay with the people who stayed. The other bank is in the frame only when the boat actually goes.
