10 minutes to make you weep over a man and his fish. No, really.
“Bridge” follows César Rojas, an artisanal fisherman from the Peruvian coast, as he reveals his daily routine, his spiritual relationship with the sea, and the resilience of a craft that endures despite modernization. Through observation, voice-over, and his own testimony, the documentary builds an intimate portrait in which the sea becomes a mirror of humanity.
