Just one year ago, Greta and Bruno′s son mysteriously disappears from the waterfront. The grieving parents are visited by a friend, the news issue warnings of environmental crisis, and rumors of a mysterious creature circulate among the locals. Iván Fund understands that storytelling in cinema is about capturing atmosphere. He has carefully crafted a mystical drama with fantastic elements, exploring this emotional process of overcoming trauma through empathy. The tone is very simple yet intriguing, and the ambiguous line between reality and fantasy is highlighted by the unusual use of music, making contrast with the gorgeous scenery, leading to the aloof and discordant nature of the film. In the apocalyptic final moments, there is an odd mixture of bewilderment and hope. (Karen PARK)
