THE GAZE OF THE SEA

Hortencia, a woman from Tuxpan with a stormy past, embarks on a journey by sea and land to recover testimonies and memories of the crew of a fishing boat that sank five years ago in the seas off Veracruz. Little by little, the journey will become a reflection on the meaning of life and death, built from the mythologies and most intimate desires of the people he meets.
