Synopsis

Top prize winner at both the Rotterdam and Miami film festivals, Alamar recounts an epic journey into the open sea. Before leaving for Rome with his mother, five-year-old Natan visits his father, Jorge, in breathtaking Chinchorro, home to the second-largest coral reef on the planet. As the two fish, swim and sail the turquoise waters, Natan discovers the beauty of his Mayan roots while growing closer to his father. The result is an enchanting and emotional experience that will remain with him forever.
