Mexico 2009, 73 mins
Director: Pedro Gonzalez-Rubio
Starring: Roberta Palombini, Natan Machado Palombini, Jorge Machado

Documentary filmmaker González-Rubio's award-winning narrative feature debut has caused something of a stir on the international film festival circuit this year.

Set in a remote fishing village on the Mexican coast, ALAMAR is a somber family drama played out against the uncompromising backdrop of the open ocean.

Blending documentary with fiction, González-Rubio uses non-actors to portray the intimate and fragile bonds of family with great authenticity.

Five-year-old Natan joins his father, Jorge, and grandfather, Nestór, for one last summer trip before relocating to Italy.

His holiday on the idyllic coral-laced shores will ultimately be tainted by the inevitable farewell separating him from his family.
