Cyclone

The action unfolds in the Caribbean Sea along the Mexican coast, where calm waters give way to a deadly cyclone. The setting shifts from a coastal locale to a storm-wracked open sea, with wreckage drifting between fishing boats and a tour boat. The tropical sea environment becomes a crucible for survival, followed by the appearance of sharks drawn to the dead and wreckage.

🌪️ Disaster

A powerful cyclone upends the travelers' plans and forces rapid adaptation to a life-or-death scenario. Resources shrink quickly while danger remains constant, highlighting how fragile safety can be in a storm-torn world. The narrative uses the disaster as a lens on human behavior under pressure, exposing both cooperation and brutality.

🧭 Leadership

Crises test who takes charge and how decisions shape survival. Pitorro, the trawler's captain, coordinates efforts toward safety and rescue, while others struggle with fear and ego. The contrast between pragmatic leadership and self-serving behavior drives much of the film's tension and group dynamics.

🦈 Mortality

As food and water run out, death becomes a constant presence aboard the drifting craft. Sharks are drawn to the wreckage and claim life, underscoring the ruthlessness of nature. The birth of a baby offers a rare glimmer of hope amid the losses, reinforcing the fragile line between despair and survival.
