Tortuga

(2005) DVD, 2:46 min, Loop

Amusement in the Carribean in the 17th century: between palm trees and tropical foliage they ve made themselves comfortable with a bottle of rum. The pirates, aka buccaneers, were made up of explorers, unemployed and expatriots from thoughout the world. Their stronghold was Tortuga, a notorious island by Hispaniola. There they are, four men, next to a waterfall. Bearded and bold. Gropes and gazes infront of the exotic scenery are how time is killed between the raids.
