Island 2024

Between the island and the sea, getting lost is the only way to face the unknown.

Directed by Martim Gouveia

In this film-poem, a protagonist is guided by an "obstinate blindness" and climbs to the top of an islet in search of meaning. Confronted with the blue immensity, he feels torn between belonging and escape. He descends from the islet, embracing the uncertainty and mystery of the unknown. Between fear and acceptance, he discovers that at the edge of the sea a new beginning may reside.
