One-Armed Sailor Reflects On Life And Love
Joe, an amputee sailor, chats with Jennie about his missing arm and his future. He recalls his wife’s choice to set him free rather than bind him to a cripple, reads his own notebook of hieroglyphs, and concludes he will keep working and hope for more. The scene closes as sunset ends the day.
