NekoHomey Purely Joyful Movie!

Cleveronix A different way of telling a story

Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Labee Pacha Wow like the postcard said "WISH I WAS THEIR", simply irresistible, loved it up until I saw the crocodile munching fish, imagine falling in that water OMG.... had me for a while I took swimming anytime day or night out of the equation. but honestly the best viewing ever, please make part 2, I do believe movies/documentaries of this nature should be made more often, amazed of the way the locals absorbed their day to day rooted lifestyles, carefree and what seemed to me as contented, without any hassles of the very fast western way of life, so no one really needed to utter a word, Oh and the hunt to find the white egret Blanquita, love you Blanquita, Im going to buy myself a white hamster and call it well what do you think!, I really would love to meet the cast of this film. well done guys

Abby Sawyer "Alamar" (2009) is directed, produced, filmed and edited by Pedro González-Rubio. In the film a young boy Natan spends some time with his father Jorge and grandfather Nestór before going to Italy with his mother. Natan and his father journey into the open waters and live in a small shack on the water in a secluded fishing village on the coast of Mexico. Natan is a bit uneasy at first about spending time with his father, but quickly grows accustom to the simple life of a fisherman. Everything about life in this village is so pure and calming – from the magnificent blue waters to the hammocks hanging in the small wooden shack that they live in. Father and son take time just being together and forming a relationship.The acting was superb and little Natan was super cute. Watching this movie was soothing and I really didn't want it to end. There wasn't a lot of action and the scenes were often a bit drawn out, but it was like watching real life. The one scene where they try to get Blanquita to jump onto Natan's hand is simple and beautiful – I could have watched that for half and hour.

sl-pierce This short film is a beautiful breath of fresh air amidst the current popular cinema. Pedro González-Rubio reveals the daily life of a young Italian boy, Natan, who has gone to visit his father and grandfather in Mexico, where they live at sea as fishermen. The film is more of a documentary, not following any intense plot, but rather, reflecting on the beauty of nature and the loving relationship between father and son. The cinematography is breathtaking, and I found myself wishing I could live at sea along the Banco Chinchorro as well. The absence of any music or soundtrack throughout the film is both interesting and compelling, because it forces the viewer to focus on the natural sounds of water, wildlife, and simple human interaction and conversation. There is a deep tranquility to this film, a sensation that washes over the audience as well, and one that I particularly enjoyed.

reedkr29 This film tells a beautiful story about a family divided my the absence of love between two parents and their common love for their son Natan. Natan travels from Italy to spend some time with his father and grandfather in Banco Chinchorr. Because Natan's father and grandfather are fishermen his spend much of his time in and on the clear blue waters of Banco Chinchorro, an atoll reef lying off the southeast coast of the Municipality of Othón P. Blanco in Quintana Roo, Mexico, near Belize. A lovely movie all can enjoy, especially if you are looking for a delightful movie at the pace of paradise. This film has my on the next flight to Mexico.
