== Synopsis == | == Synopsis == | ||
Joe tells of his Antarctic cruise, taken to get away from the | |||
difficulties of his life in LA, on an old cruise ship. A drunk young | |||
couple, Paul and Nancy, introduce themselves at the bar on the first | |||
night. They're unhappy with the cruise. Nancy flirts with Joe. Paul | |||
offers Joe their key. Joe keeps his distance. They set out from | |||
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ushuaia Ushuaia].<ref>An actual Antarctic port used by cruise ships</ref> | |||
The crew is Greek, the captain Constantine Kyriakos; Nikos, the | |||
steward, runs everything not nautical. | |||
Paul, a junk-bond millionaire, tells of his travel adventures, | |||
disparages the other passengers, brags of his torrid sex with Nancy. | |||
With Paul sick in harsh weather, Nancy talks to Joe alone, brags about | |||
her sexual adventures. She wants to have sex with the captain, does | |||
that night. | |||
Nikos falls sick; Nancy and the captain's affair gets more exotic. | |||
When the weather clears after a week, it turns out that Paul and Nikos | |||
both have appendicitis. A retired physician says Paul's symptoms are | |||
dire, need to be operated on before they can get to shore, but won't | |||
do it himself. Nikos volunteers, relying on his military service as a | |||
medic, using his model ship-building tools. The power goes out during | |||
the operation. | |||
They land at [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deception_Island Deception Island], site of a US weather station, the next | |||
night,<ref>I find no evidence of US station on Deception Island, nor | |||
all the stuff that's in Joe's story.</ref> where Paul and | |||
Nikos are treated and Nancy goes off with a navy diver. The | |||
passengers tour a penguin rookery. | |||
Nikos dies. Nancy stays with the diver. The others return on another | |||
ship. | |||
20:00: Joe (no longer on the cruise) laments the injustices of life. | |||
20:50: Joe's cold despite a blazing fire and heavy clothes. He looks | |||
in the mirror, sees snow on himself, signs of illness, considers | |||
operating on himself with kitchen utensils (including fried onion for | |||
his liver.) | |||
