Tonnage

About This Movie

So, 'Tonnage' is this intriguing documentary that dives deep into the daily grind of dockworkers in Eleusis. It’s not just about cargo; it’s about the lives of these workers, their routines, the rawness of their interactions, the load they carry — both literally and metaphorically. The pacing is deliberately slow, allowing you to soak in the atmosphere of the docks and really feel the weight of their world. The filmmakers play with sound and visuals in a way that captures the essence of the labor and the atmosphere surrounding it. It's fascinating how they intertwine the meaning of 'tonnage' with personal stories, giving a voice to those often unseen. Definitely a film that lingers with you after the credits roll.
