Synopsis
Jorge has only a few weeks with his five-year-old son Natan before he leaves to live with his mother in Rome. Intent on teaching Natan about their Mayan heritage, Jorge takes him to the pristine Chinchorro reef, and eases him into the rhythms of a fisherman's life. As the bond between father and son grows stronger, Natan learns to live in harmony with life above and below the surface of the sea.

Jeff in Seattle - Customer Review
This film seems a lot more like a documentary than a drama. Gorgeous cinematography dominates this film. As a viewer, I felt like I was the little boy taking in all the wonders the sea has to offer. The boy takes a vacation from his mother in Rome to spend some time with his father who lives off the sea.
