One of Chile’s most celebrated filmmakers, Justiniano masterfully navigates through the borders of comedy and tragedy in this lively drama where a love triangle disrupts the quiet life of a small fishing village on the Pacific coast. Handsome Leyton is a carefree bon vivant, a womanizer who is especially popular among ladies whose husbands can’t satisfy their sexual desires. Nothing like Leyton, his best friend and partner, Modesto, is a hardworking fisherman obsessed with progress. A tragic triangle unravels as Modesto marries beautiful young Marta, who longs for the sexual satisfaction Modesto is incapable of providing and Leyton happily fulfills. Outstanding performances, a charming setting and a sardonic sense of humor make this tale of lust, friendship and murder a compelling and highly enjoyable film.

“Strong, impassionate performances of Mr. Saez, Mr. Wigdorsky and Ms Lo.” — Stephen Holden, The New York Times

“The rhythms of the film are as lulling and resonant as the tides its characters clock their days by.” —Leah Greenblatt, Time Out NY
