This documentary chronicles the final attempt at the reconstruction of the 'Seagull,' President Tito's ship used from the 1950s until his death in 1980, followed by the breakdown of Yugoslavia. It played a crucial role in enforcing peace between the Eastern and Western blocs and promoting the Non-Aligned Movement. The film provides insight into the unique sailor's life through the testimony of an officer involved in its concluding journey. While the ship is being reconstructed near the shipyard, the local population concludes a carnival-like ritual by symbolically burning an effigy. This symbolizes the end of winter and aims to dispel the perceived evils believed to have shaped their past.
