To the Sea

Allowed 73 minutes • 2009 • 7.2

To the Sea is a low pace movie, with room for reflection, depicting a kind of reunion and a deepened relationship between a little boy and his father. It is also a depiction of a life in close association with nature. The boy Natan lives in Rome with his Italian mother but is on vacation during the summer to visit his dad, who lives in a simple house at the paradise-like Banco Chinchorro in the Gulf of Mexico. With a documentary observational style, with no narration or other explanatory means, through a series of daily scenes, we get to follow their lives at the sea; free diving among coral reefs, boat trips and fishing, boat maintenance, cooking and philosophizing over the evening coffee to the birds' song.
