WE ALL LOVE THE SEASHORE

A group of men are waiting at the fringes of a coastal woodland for their journey to Europe, in limbo, between time and place. A film is shot there, the men play themselves. Fiction and documentary constantly intertwine. Myths from the colonial past collide with their dreams of a better future. The landscape changes and they are no longer in their motherland. There are no beautiful beaches, the water is not transparent, is not clear. Memory survives as an echo from the distance.
