Sobre las olas

About This Movie

Sobre las olas (2025) dives into the murky waters of ambition and morality. Set on a fictional island, we follow Gloria Zamora, who transforms from a typical working mother into a formidable figure of influence. As the power and wealth flow in, the town becomes her chessboard. The narrative’s strength lies in Trinidad's voiceover, offering a deeply personal lens on her mother's choices. The pacing feels deliberate, letting the tension build slowly—almost suffocating at times. The performances, particularly that of the actress playing Gloria, bring a raw vulnerability that contrasts sharply with her character's ruthless ascent. It's a layered exploration of familial bonds and the corrupting nature of power, wrapped in a distinctly atmospheric setting. Practical effects subtly enhance the realism, grounding the more fantastical elements of the story.
