In 1914, a cruise ship sets sail from Naples to spread the ashes of beloved opera singer Edmea Tetua near Erimo, the isle of her birth. During the voyage, the eclectic array of passengers discovers a group of Serbian refugees aboard the vessel. Peace and camaraderie abound until the ship is descended upon by an Austrian flagship. The Serbians are forced to board it, but naturally they resist, igniting a skirmish that ends in destruction.

As popular as he is, the artist rarely follows popular consensus. Today, for example, Hockney derides movie critics for failing Fellini’s 1984 film And the Ship Sails On. Where it had taken Hockney four trips to the cinema to understand that it was “all about the screen,” the filmmaker’s foil to the artist’s canvas, most had only gone once. “The first reviews didn’t see the film at all!” he says. “They thought it was merely about the plot. It wasn’t, and I knew that.”
