And Then They Burn the Sea

About This Movie

And Then They Burn the Sea is a deeply personal documentary that unfolds slowly, almost like a dream. Majid Al-Remaihi's exploration of his mother's fading memory creates an atmosphere that's both haunting and intimate. You really feel the weight of time and loss. The pacing is deliberate, allowing viewers to sit with the emotions rather than rush through them. It’s raw, almost unfiltered, and you can sense the director's own struggle with grief and acceptance. There are no flashy effects here; it’s all about the performances and real-life moments that hit hard. The film has this unique way of making you reflect on memory itself and what it means to lose someone piece by piece. Quite distinctive in its approach.
