Senegalese, Indonesian and Galician sailors from the Spanish fishing vessel ILHA BRAVA, fight a silent battle in body and soul during their long, empty hours docked in the port of Montevideo. Their nausea stem from their longing for a home which is only projected in dreams and through the bright screens of their phones. All they can do is wait for the sea to call them back into the harsh, black chasms of the South Atlantic.
After more than sixty days relentlessly fishing shark in the South Atlantic open waters, the ILHA BRAVA docks in the port of Montevideo, Uruguay, fulfilling its cyclical routine. Senegalese, Indonesian and Galician crew-members follow the chore and wait inside this small vessel until they are called upon the rough dark chasms of the sea again. All an endless story of shadows and ghosts unable to reach and caress a haunting dream of home that comes alive every time they step foot on solid land, a land not their own.—Hermógenes
