Infinite Sea (2021 | Portugal | 78 Minutes | Carlos Amaral)
Miguel is one of only a few people left on the planet. That’s no metaphor, Earth has lost its luster and a mass exodus is taking humankind to another habitable planet many many lightyears away: Proxima Centauri B. Staying on Earth was not his plan and he aims to do something about it, hacking the system that rejected him he hopes to force his way onto the next ship out. As we flow in and out of his dreamscape, and amidst the waves we meet Eva, a young woman that begins occupying his time and distracting him from his grand scheme… or has she jumped on his bandwagon? As reality folds and unfolds itself in this beautifully shot film we discover there’s more to the story and Miguel’s role in the salvation of human kind.
What binds two humans? Is it the time the spend together, the dreams they share, the similarities in their desires and personalities? Everything and nothing, there’s a spark that can be lit by anything and it’s the connection between us that bonds us, pulls us into the emotional ties that bring us such joy year after year together. Infinite Sea not only looks at these connections but, with so few words, plumbs the depths of what we share together as couples, as family and as the human race. Enchanting, beautiful and powerful.
Infinite Sea is available to stream now on Amazon and other VOD services.
