REVIEWS
Unsettling elements of childhood meet the existential unease of the adult world in Paz Fabrega's fascinating debut Cold Water of the Sea.
Handsomely lensed using natural light and darkness, pic is strongest when focusing on the fantastical imagination of a little girl.
Fabrega shows a marked talent and a fresh new voice able to achieve impressive results on a small budget.
Thanks to the compellingly atmospheric script (…) film reveals a singular, unified vision.

One of Rotterdam’s strongest Films... This warm work draws parallels between a poor young girl and a female tourist, whose lives cross on the gorgeous coastline. It’s a thoughtful film, mysterious and unafraid of silence.

The jury statements on the VPRO Tiger Award winning film Agua fría de mar (Cold Water of the Sea): “We are impressed by the film that accomplishes to present in a convincing and poetic way the mysterious relationship between a woman and a young girl. The film takes the audience on an unusual trip into Nature that interacts in a magical way with humans. The superb editing builds organic flow of images while the strong directing creates an unnerving atmosphere and tension.
