Language:EnglishDirector:Fritz Polzer5 min, Colour

This short film is part of a series centered around 16mm color footage shot in the oil port of Augusta, where decommissioned cruise ships stood during the height of the pandemic. The cruise ship serves as both a symbol of man-made climate catastrophe and of the bourgeoisie's concept of absolute wealth and leisure fun, now further tainted in the liberal elites' taste system by the rise of affordable cruise lines near package tours. This iteration includes a conversation with a person whose family members self-identify as 'virulent cruise lovers.'
