We Were Left Alone is this intriguing documentary that dives into the life of Raúl, who captures the essence of his seafaring days through a mini VHS. It's set in '91, and there’s something raw about those moments he records on the Raúl Primero, really showing the stark contrasts between life at sea and the birth of his son, Adrián. Fast forward thirty years, and Adrián's journey to the Gran Sol, guided by those old tapes, is just layered with nostalgia. The pacing has this almost meditative rhythm, and the way it juxtaposes Raúl's experiences with Adrián's current life is striking. You feel the weight of legacy, and the practical effects—like the real ocean, the real ship—give it this authentic feel that’s hard to replicate.
