The Strong Ones

Los Fuertes ; Omar Zúñiga Hidalgo, 2019, versions: OR,SS,ES, languages: spa

Director: Omar Zúñiga Hidalgo

Lucas travels to visit his sister to a remote town in southern Chile. In front of the ocean and the fog, he meets Antonio, a boatswain in a local fishing boat. When an intense romance grows between them, their strenght, their independence and their adulthood become immovable in front of the tide. "I wanted to explore the inherent fragility of the masculine, the dignity that comes with a trade, and the culture of the south of Chile, which I know deeply. I wanted to travel towards the ocean and to face the immensity. I wanted to lie in bed next to the fire burning. I wanted to tell this love story between two men who know what they want, and who are also different to each other, with different life experiences and ways of looking at the world. I also wanted to tell this story without the presence of guilt, or trauma, or discovery, in a way that I have not seen enough of." Omar Zúñiga Hidalgo {L.A. Outfest 2020: Audience Award}
