About This Movie

Lagamar, directed by Giovanna Perpétuo, is a deeply atmospheric exploration of grief and love. Set against the haunting backdrop of the sea, the film captures Selene's raw emotional journey after losing her fiancée, Ismália, in a tragic accident. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the audience to sit with Selene's pain, while the cinematography beautifully contrasts the serenity of the ocean with her inner turmoil. The performances are intimate, particularly the lead, whose vulnerability draws you in. It's not just about the loss; it's about what comes after, the fragments of memories and the struggle to find oneself again. The practical effects used for the storm sequences add an authentic weight to the tragic elements. Definitely a film that stays with you.
