As 17-year-old Azul unpacks her late mother Teresa’s belongings, she discovers evidence that her sister Paula is her actual mother. Now, the newly fractured pair must embark on a road trip to the titular coastal Uruguayan hamlet to learn more about the birth father and to make up for lost time.
"Como el mar is an Argentine film where a young woman, Azul (Zoe Hochbaum), discovers that her supposed older sister (Sofía Gala Castiglione) is actually her biological mother, and the mother who has just died was really her grandmother. Seeking answers about her father, they embark on a journey to Uruguay, where they must transform their bond. This road movie moves at a slow, contemplative pace, focusing more on exploring feelings than events, which may seem too simplistic for those looking for complex dramas. However, it's an emotional film, and the performance of the legendary Carmen Maura (Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown) is definitely worth watching."
