The unstoppable, strong current decides on the bodies the armed conflict leaves behind. Meanwhile, a girl searches for any trace of her boyfriend, and a man rescues the bodies the tides leave on the Colombian shore.
Cosme lives in a small town in the Colombian coast, a place where the sea decides about life and death, bringing to the coast the bodies the armed conflicts throws, something the locals take with the naturalness of the everyday. If somebody dies, the rituals include dances with the coffin raised; and the most mundane anecdotes are related to decomposing bodies and fatal accidents. Cosme works retrieving the bodies the current brings; Hellens goes to meet him with the illusion of recognizing a body that could be her boyfriend’s. From then on, and in praise of immediate cinema, the tale moves on with simplicity, allowing for reality to invade the film, make detours and offer purely vital accidents. Full cinematic freedom, away from any kind of canon. MA
