Shipwrecks

Naufragios • Heartbroken, angry and seeking comfort, Maite arrives at an out-of-season coastal town, where the few residents live out their lonely lives. Each person waits resignedly for someone to come and rescue them. Maite surrenders herself to this ebb-and-flow, until an unconscious sailor washes up on the beach one day, prompting her to decide whether to move forward and create a new life or remain stranded on those shores. Spataro’s feature debut explores, with humor and tenderness, the emotional anguish, longings and wounds of characters that find themselves in a state of suspension.
