Synopsis

As a tanker is caught in a storm and capsizing; a second-cook on board receives a voice mail from his wife that he is father to a baby girl. The cook retreats to a small storage closet where there is approximately 60 minutes of air remaining. Fifty-eight miles from shore in the confines of this closet he experiences impossibly authentic hallucinations of his baby girl's birth, growth and his own funeral and burial. As the air runs out he becomes a mid-wife to the memories he will never experience. What begins as documentary ends as fiction. What began as fiction becomes a study of nature.
