Before leaving for Rome with his mother, five year old Natan is taken by his father, Jorge, on an epic journey to the pristine Chinchorro reef off the coast of Mexico. As they fish, swim, and sail the turquoise waters of the open sea, Natan discovers the beauty of his Mayan heritage and learns to live in harmony with life above and below the surface, as the bond between father and son grows stronger before their inevitable farewell.

Pedro González-Rubio constructs a film that exists in the delicate space between documentary and lyrical fable. He relies on the authentic bond between father and son to explore not just the rituals of life at sea, but the profound fragility of human connection.
What lingers after the final frame is a deep, quiet contemplation. The film is a gentle meditation on heritage, simple joys, and what we imprint upon each other's hearts. — MovieFinder Editorial
