One of this year's revelations. Argentine director Vignatti has accomplished something rare and extremely beautiful with a sense of such controlled tenderness it'll make you gasp. A woman escapes trauma by retreating to a fisherman's shack. Immersing herself in simple survival, she eats without enjoyment but ravenously, bearing physical labours, animal-like, and trying not to collapse. The wild, bare landscape powerfully echoes the devastation lying beneath, pulling you in with quiet persistence - just like the visions who appear silently yet steadily, pulling her towards the sea. An inimitable piece of cinema.
