Liverpool

The story moves between an oceangoing cargo vessel navigating icy Patagonian waters and remote settlements in Tierra del Fuego. Farrel travels from shipboard life to a homecoming near a sawmill to check on his ailing mother Nazarena and to encounter Analia. The stark, wind-swept landscapes and harsh weather emphasize distances that shape his choices and relationships.

💔 Homecoming

After years away, Farrel returns to care for a frail mother and to reconnect with Analia and Trujillo. The voyage and the village meet in a quiet reckoning of duties, memories, and what it costs to return. His guarded demeanor gradually yields to moments of vulnerability as he confronts what he left behind. The encounter exposes the fragility of family ties and the price of leaving.

🕰️ Memory

Objects tether the present to the past—a keychain from the port of Liverpool, a photograph, and a bottle of vodka. Farrel’s choices are propelled by the memories those items evoke, revealing how the past guides but does not dictate his actions. The remote Patagonian landscape becomes a mnemonic space where places stand in for people. Time in the film is felt through echoes and reminders more than explicit chronology.

🌨️ Isolation

Wintry, wind-swept settings—the ship, the canteen, and the village—frame the characters’ lives and distances between them. Isolation sharpens both resilience and loneliness as Farrel navigates duty, memory, and desire. The weather often acts as a silent force that tests loyalty and the will to stay or leave.
