Men strip and lie on the edge of the dock. Shot of ocean liner: Seabrain. Shot of man’s oiled back and thick black hair: wires foregrounded. Man reads behind a bicycle and in front of the hull of a ship—shot over-exposed, leg over-exposed—different man adjusts the collar of his yellow-striped polo and kicks his feet above the water. Sunbathing. Ass shot. Cycling: wires backgrounded. Man walks past camera—orange and green trunks—hair as long as Jesus Christ; Man walks toward camera—yellow trunks with polka-dots—hair as long as Jesus Christ.
Two men walk across the camera holding hands.
A seagull dips over the sea and flies down the pier.
