A film by: Lorraine Jones Molina & Cristian Carretero (Puerto Rico, 2025, 114 minutes)
Synopsis: Bebo, a teenager from a coastal Puerto Rican town, lives with his brother in a public housing complex. They fish for a living, but growing desperation drives them to illegal dealings that promise easy money. When a job goes wrong, and blood is spilled, Bebo flees with Lola, a wealthy girl seeking to escape her troubled reality. As they navigate the labyrinthine mountains, they encounter remnants of a fading way of life, contrasting with the violence that follows them. As his inner demons rise, Bebo must confront his choices and decide if redemption is possible, or if the sea will be their final escape.
