Cinematography
The ocean as a character—beautiful, menacing, indifferent.
Acting
Baleirón's silence screams louder than dialogue ever could.
Director
Eloy Domínguez Serén
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Serén shot in Galicia's real fishing communities, casting locals alongside professionals for unvarnished authenticity.
Spain's 'percebeiro' (goose barnacle) smuggling subculture is rarely depicted; this short treats it as economic survival, not crime thriller fodder.
