Step into the storm

Legend has it The Flying Dutchman is doomed to sail the ocean for all eternity. Only true and committed love can bring freedom. Once every seven years, the ship’s captain may set foot on land in search of it. Consumed by the sad tale, Senta is determined to be the woman to save the Dutchman. Will their chance meeting finally bring salvation, or tragedy?
