A Donkey Called Geronimo
Synopsis
One day, there lives a group of sailors in a beautiful island in the Baltic Sea. It‘s as if they have their own kingdom with 7 hectares of land; never-ending freedom and a donkey named Geronimo. The memory of this utopian life still lingers in the sailors’ minds who must go back to the mainland because their community cannot last longer.
