Red Moon Tide

Lúa vermella

61st TIFF: Greek premiere

Time seems to stand still in this remote village of the Galician coast, as three women are in search of a sailor who has disappeared. Distant murmurs of the shipwrecked people vanished into this sea cemetery are merged with the astrological phenomenon of the red moon, in this mystical blend of reality and the imaginary. A parable on grief and loss, where the harshness of a mesmerizing landscape is interwoven with ancestral legends of ghosts and monsters.
