About This Movie

Maresia is an intriguing animated piece, blending beautiful aesthetics with a profound exploration of familial bonds against the unpredictable backdrop of the ocean.

Each character's relationship with the sea unfolds uniquely, reflecting their hopes, fears, and the sometimes harsh realities of coastal life.
