Tina works on a boat; Tidy the cabins, make the beds, clean the windows. Sometimes the cabins do not have a window, so Tina hangs a large photo on the wall where you can see the sea and the sky; it is almost the same. Antonio is a cook on another ship. He spends the day peeling carrots, cutting zucchini, chopping parsley; and every night, she makes pasta with tomato, stuffed flowers, and ice cream. Two ships cross the seas. Two destinations will cross until they meet again.
