In this languid drama a five-year-old city boy is introduced to the traditional fisherman's life of his father as they pass a summer at work and play in the pristine waters of the Mexican Caribbean.
"Mexican fisherman Jorge and Italian tourist Roberta's relationship couldn't endure their conflicting temperaments so Roberta decides to return to Italy with their son, but not before allowing him the chance to spend quality time with his father. Jorge takes his boy to Chinchorro, the second-largest coral reef on the planet and one of the few places in the Mexican Caribbean with an intact ecosystem. They embark upon a heart-warming journey at sea and little Natan eases into a fisherman's life, acclimating to the natural world alongside his daddy." (Miami Film Festival)
