Frente al Mar

A marriage plot set against the French coast, because nothing says passion like existential drift in 16mm. An American writer and his dancer wife settle into a sleepy seaside hotel, watching their silence accumulate like tide lines. It’s less about what happens and more about how long you can stare at Brad Pitt’s brooding profile before craving a real conversation.
