Wide shot before dawn along a working harbor quay, where a dozen small simple cel figures — fishmongers in rubber aprons and boots, a 34-year-old woman in a headscarf hauling a crate at the front, all drawn with minimal interior detail — sort the night's catch under strings of bare bulbs. Beyond the breakwater the sea has stopped: a standing wall of black-green water rises three hundred meters straight up and holds there, unmoving, its face glassy and faintly translucent, three fishing boats suspended inside it at odd angles with their deck lights still burning like drowned lanterns. The bulbs on the quay throw hard orange pools across wet concrete and fish scales, and everything above them falls into a hand-painted range of ink black, cold slate, and deep sea-green, the water wall's crest lost in fog at the top of the frame. The workers reach a hundredth of its height and none of them look up; the crates keep moving. Grim, ordinary dread — a catastrophe that has been standing there long enough to become the weather.
