WE ALL LOVE THE SEA SHORE

16m
A group of men is waiting at the fringes of a coastal woodland for the journey to Europe. They get trapped in a temporal threshold. A film is shot there with the men playing themselves. The landscape changes and where they are is no longer their motherland. There are no beautiful beaches, the water is not transparent, not clear. Legends from the colonial past collide with the present time, memory survives.

Statement of the Director/s
I was interested in portraying a place where human trajectories are spatially and temporally suspended. WE ALL LOVE THE SEA SHORE delves into a border experience that takes place in the city of Ceuta, at the crossing of the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. This is a territory limbo for some travellers. By crossing contemporary nomadic landscapes the film explores this mundane threshold. Behind us was the forest, ahead is the sea.
