Synopsis

Bebo, a teenager from a coastal Puerto Rican town, lives with his brother in a public housing complex. They fish for a living, but growing desperation drives them to illegal dealings that promise easy money. When a job goes wrong and blood is spilled, Bebo flees with Lola, a wealthy girl seeking to escape her troubled reality. As they navigate the labyrinthine mountains, they encounter remnants of a fading way of life, contrasting with the violence that follows them. As hitmen close in, Bebo must confront his choices and decide if redemption is possible, or if the sea will be their final escape.

A deeply personal and poignant portrait of the Puerto Rican experience that dives deep into the complexities of identity, resilience and colonial legacy. With grounded performances and striking cinematography, Lorraine Jones and Cristian Carretero’s confident first feature is a potent exploration of wayward youth seeking a better future for themselves amidst their precarious present.
