TurkeyThe routine lives of four sailors turn upside down when one of them gets mugged and badly beaten.
SynopsisGemide is a story of four sailors who co-exist in a silt-cleaning ship, living a very routine existence, enlivened only by the tales spun by their captain. One evening one of the sailors arrives back from the harbor badly beaten and robbed. The others track down the culprits but accidentally kill one of them; to add to their problems, they have also kidnapped a prostitute, keeping her in the hold overnight. The next morning they realize what trouble they have got themselves into, and what they will have to do to extricate themselves from it.

"Serdar Akar's Gemide (On-board) introduces yet another talented debut film-maker to Critics' Week. Born in 1964 and a graduate of the Istanbul film school, he worked as an assistant director while directing a half-dozen shorts and documentaries until he found the backing for On-board. A realist tale, it documents the story of four sailors biding their time smoking pot on a ship - until one decides to go ashore, and gets beaten up and robbed. His pals come to the rescue, catch the thieves and steal back the money - along with a beautiful foreign hooker, who comes from some foreign country and just may be the virgin she claims to be." Ron Holloway, Cannes film Festival, 1999.
