Balnearios

2002 · 82 min

A deadpan, gently absurd collage of seaside oddities that drifts like a lazy winter afternoon, amusing and quietly strange.

Overview: An album of odd and humorous stories on small places exclusively dedicated to idleness, which are empty in winter and crowded in summer: the spa towns. Cities under water, luxury hotels, mermaids, sea animals, sand castles, people who worship water, praying for health.
How it feels: Whimsical, absurd, satirical and melancholic. Slow-burning and needs your attention.
About: Isolation, identity, aging, faith
Content: Mild sexual content and language. No violence or gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
