About This Movie

S'indattaraiu is this raw and heartfelt exploration of a man's struggle against time and circumstance, set against the picturesque Sardinian coast. The atmosphere is heavy with nostalgia and loss, as Mario grapples with his fading identity as a fisherman—a life he's nurtured for decades. The pacing feels deliberate, almost reflective, matching Mario's introspection. You really feel the weight of the sea as a character itself, and the practical effects give a realness that's hard to find in today’s cinema. The performances are quietly powerful, especially the dynamic between Mario and his children, who want him to let go but can't quite understand his attachment. It’s a film steeped in familial bonds and the bittersweet nature of letting go.
