Between two waters

« Striking, potently human follow-up to 2006’s “The Legend of Time” (…) fuses the urgency, naturalness and empathy of insider documentary with the lightly worn artistry of well-told fiction. »
The Hollywood Reporter

Synopsis

Isra and Cheíto are two Roma brothers: Isra was sent to prison for drug dealing and Cheíto signed up for the Marines. When Isra is released from prison and Cheíto returns from a long mission, they return to San Fernando. The reunion between the siblings brings memories of their father’s violent death when they were only boys. Twelve years have passed since La Leyenda del tiempo (The Legend of Time), Lacuesta’s film when Isra and Cheíto were teenagers. Now Isra returns to San Fernando to recover his wife and kids. But will he manage to go straight in a place with the highest unemployment rate in Spain? Their search for redemption, their need to sort out their lives and to find reconciliation between them will bring them together again.
