About the Film: Jorge has only a few weeks with his five-year-old son Natan before he leaves to live with his mother in Rome. Intent on teaching Natan about their Mayan heritage, Jorge takes him to the pristine Chinchorro reef, and eases him into the rhythms of a fisherman's life. As the bond between father and son grows stronger, Natan learns to live in harmony with life above and below the surface of the sea. "(Alamar is) a poignant cinematic ode to father-son relationships, an elegy to the virtues of freedom in childhood, and a passionate defence of the integrity of nature's few remaining paradises." - Lee Marshall, Screen International In Spanish and Italian with English subtitles/73 min. The screening includes an award-wining short, fresh popcorn & a cash bar. Special thanks to KPA Productions.
