The Gaze of the Sea

Hortencia, a native woman from Tuxpan with a stormy past, journeys through sea and land to recover testimonies of the crew of a fishing boat that disappeared five years ago in Veracruz, Mexico. Gradually the journey becomes a reflection on the meaning of life and death, built around the mythologies and deepest yearnings of the people with whom she crosses. (Sheffield Doc/Fest)
