Patagonia Azul
Clara is a woman who is inexplicably floating in the middle of the Patagonian Sea, letting herself go. We know nothing about her past nor about which events have caused her to get there. She seems to be in a limbo between reality and dream. After some moments of introspection and in an apparent act of final resignation, as she slowly begins to sink into the depths, an unknown voice surprises her and calls her by her name. She is suspicious: Whose voice is it? How will it be able to help her? Why is it there?
The voice suggests a new path within the sea where she might find those answers. It is a journey in which she will have to overcome a series of events in order to recover something lost. Clara, somewhat hesitant, dives into a different world. She will have to subtly connect with her surroundings and with herself in order to move forward. The depths, the underwater landscapes and the approach to amazing creatures are part of her inevitable destiny.
The human traces over that environment do not go unnoticed: countless remains of civilization make up the tragic testimony of the human legacy. At every piece of scenery, by means of a peculiar dialogue, Clara moves through situations and obstacles that this enigmatic voice presents to her, and that way, she rediscovers her own nature. Towards the end, she realizes who that voice is and why it has chosen the infinite horizon of the Patagonian Sea to help her renew her view and recover what she has lost.
