The Regret of the Waves
A chance encounter by the sea leaves a mother facing a choice between her family responsibilities and a new beginning
Synopsis
A mother meets someone by the sea who makes a different future seem possible. The feelings awakened by their encounter come into conflict with the responsibilities of family life. Wedding scenes, quiet interiors and the open coast offer contrasting settings for a choice whose consequences reach beyond the couple. Attentive to hesitation and backward glances, the film explores the desire to begin again and the attachments that make departure difficult.
