A film that looked interesting, but was killed by the poor script and the wooden acting of the main character.
The main character, Maya, runs away from home in search of her father. She is joined by Nikos - a sailor looking for happiness in another country. Unfortunately, the main couple cannot cope, the relationship between them is stiff and unnatural. You don't feel the chemistry between them at all. Stiff dialogues don't help. Hallel - the actress playing the main character, fares really bad - as if she was reading from a sheet of paper. Daniel - the actor playing Nikos fares a bit better. Hallel is quite convincing when she says nothing and looks sadly at the ocean.
The positive side of the film is its technical layer. Photos, montage show the sea in all its beauty. The music track is well suited to the emotions accompanying the characters. Adi, the actress who plays Maya's mother, is doing very well. Her scenes with Ofek (playing her brother) were one of the strongest points of the film.
Too bad the wasted potential of the film. It could have been really good, but the script and actress playing the main character put the film down.
