ARGENTINA - Finally, The Sea
En fin, el mar

On a deserted beach, desperate Cubans head for the horizon via makeshift rafts; then Cuban-American wheeler-dealer Joel Núñez, taking a beach break from a Miami business trip, finds wreckage washing up on shore, inscribed with two names. This begins an odyssey back to his homeland, to Audry Gutierrez Alea [who co-scripted], and to a heritage he thought he had left behind. From its sweeping opening shot—done in an extended single take—to its cliché-eschewing conclusion, this is a striking debut.

En una playa abandonada, unos Cubanos desesperados se preparan a salir al mar en balsas. Mientras tanto el negociante cubano-americano Joel Núñez, descansando en una playa de Miami, encuentra los restos de un naufragio en los cuales hay nombres inscritos. Así comienza una odisea a su tierra natal, a Audry Gutiérrez Alea [coescritora del guión] y a un patrimonio que pensaba haber dejado atrás. Desde la primera escena, hecha en una sola toma, hasta su conclusión original, este es un impresionante debut.
