    SCRAP VESSEL documents the last trip of the Hari Funafuti (formerly the Bulk Promotor and Hupohai), a cargo ship on its way to be scrapped. With a languid atmosphere using the massive ship like a landscape, the film explores what is found inside the ship from it’s communist past, onwards through an unseen attack by pirates and onto a distant beach and glowing ironworks factory, until the ship becomes a phantom.
