SpIFF: Alamar
This movie will make you want to quit your life, buy a tiny boat, and fish for a living in Mexico. We follow a father and his young son, who’s visiting from Italy where he resides with his mother. The man is a fisherman, and the movie chronicles the seemingly mundane adventures the two have together — swimming, fishing, hanging out in the man’s shack on the sea.
Sound dull? It’s completely the opposite. The documentary-style camera work, natural demeanor of the actors and beautiful scenery will completely envelop viewers. You’ll feel like a silent family member, enjoying the trip and longing to return to your shack by the sea, even though you were never actually there in the first place.
