Legacy of the sea

Legacy of the Sea is an exploration of the stories of the port’s family. Juan Iglesias builds the meaning of being embarked in Pica I for more than 60 years, defying the fate of navigating the sea of Patagonia. Meanwhile, at the pier, the fishermen's mothers wait for their family to return alive. The sea, beloved and feared, with its magnetic attraction, forms a way of life for families, but at the same time it can become the grave of their children. The fascinating and deep sea of Patagonia is weaving thousands of stories into fishermen's nets.

Director Statement

Legacy del Mar seeks to explore between different stories and voices, a prospect full of details and specifics about what it means to live in the harbor and embark on the Patagonia sea.
The proposal of the documentary is based on the human factor, we used their profession as a device to get closer to the people and their stories.
We expect that this particular story to be a reflection of families who work hard, with passion and try to transmit their tradition, their legacy.
