Los silenciosos

In matter of fisherman tale, men at see trying to feed their families, it will be very hard to do better than Sung Bo Shim's SEA FOG, back in 2015. I am not sure that a long length movie spoke of such a topic, fishermen about to starve, losing their jobs, because of harsh rules concerning fishing new regulations. European decisions to protect ecology and for other economics reasons. So fishermen have to apply those decisions with all the consequences that you can guess. It is a social scheme, but for a twenty minutes film, this is rather short. Maybe this is a first draw before a long length movie, who knows? I am sure the makers of this film know what they speak about.

A boat. Fruitless fishing across four days. A radical idea, desperate in its essence , having as consequence the brocke of law.

After the first enthusiasm, a sinister discover. Attitudes, reactions and the decision.

A film defined by atmosphere and by unspoken things. Small references, understand by the discover of name of boat, clash of ages and experiences, the cure for young fisherman against seasick and the father like attitude, a venerable man prepaired by retiring and the other interested by succes.

A beautiful exploration of a tough work, well crafted, interesting defined by the end..
