Under the Waves

Meritxell Martí / Xavier Salomó

Multiple layers of meaning in an apparently simple story full of love.

An apparently simple encounter at sea reveals the inner conflict of the two main characters: shame, fear, rejection… There is only one thing to do: diving to the depths of the ocean, seeking hidden treasures, and looking attentively with eyes wide open. Just like that we may discover what we are capable of, how wonderful life is and what really matters.

Grant & sample translation available.
