Ruim vier eeuwen geleden zwermden Nederlandse schepen en hun bemanningen uit over de wereldzeeën. Ze voeren naar het noorden, over de Atlantische Oceaan naar het westen en rond Kaap Hoorn en voorbij Kaap de Goede Hoop naar Azië. Ze dreven handel, gingen de strijd aan met Europese concurrenten, onderwierpen goed- of kwaadschiks inheemse volken en stichtten nederzettingen en koloniën. Het vervoer van goederen en mensen via het water was in veel opzichten bepalend voor de ontwikkeling van scheepstypen, navigatiemiddelen en handelsnetwerken.

""... viņu ieraugot, es jutos apmulsusi un apreibusi. Pēkšņa impulsa vadīta, es novilku kleitu un nometu to uz grīdas. Manas biksītes bija mitras no sviedriem un iekāres. Es tās ātri novilku, līdz tās gulēja kaudzītē blakus kleitai. Manas kailās krūtis pieskārās vēsajam loga stiklam, un es jutu, kā mans ķermenis saspringst. Manā galvā virpuļoja domas par šī jaunā vīrieša ķermeni, zinošajām kustībām un spēcīgajiem muskuļiem." Šis īsstāsts ir publicēts sadarbībā ar zviedru filmu producenti Ēriku Lustu.
