Storyline

On an island across the sea lies a village full of romance, wonder and mystery; a timeless place where people carry strong beliefs that can fulfill the heart's deepest desires. A beautiful woman, led to believe she has powerful ties to the sea, defies everyone to prove them wrong, in a world where man and nature connect in improbable ways, where myths are real and truth is imaginary. "Sea of Dreams" is a classical narrative that creates a fascinating world that celebrates the miracles of falling in love, following your heart and finding your destiny.

Sharing my experience

I went to see the movie last night compelled by the advertising on Mexican TV. Magic Realism allows the makers of the movie to enter the deepest parts of your person to magnify different feelings. My parents passed away when I was a child and I have mixed emotions linked to my memories at the sea. In this movie the sea is a character that as much as it gives it can also take, in some way it sparked memories of my parents, specially one scene where the starfish appear on the beach. After the movie ended an undescriptible feeling of inner peace embraced me.

The cinematography is magical, the music, casting and performances are very enjoyable.

I am very happy to have seen this movie and I can't wait to see this director/writer's next film.
