Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for adventure fans. If you loved The Poseidon Adventure or Moby Dick, start here. Critics rate it higher than audiences do, so it rewards patience more than it chases thrills.
The mood
Exciting.
The pace
Takes its time with its characters, at 2 hr.
What might put you off
  • It's in Portuguese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1931: an older pace and style.
  • Audiences were cooler on it than critics.

Adrift in the vast expanse of the ocean, a solitary boat carries three castaways—a man and two women. Stranded and devoid of any glimmer of rescue, they find solace in recounting the tales of their lives to one another. As they delve into their personal narratives, reminiscing about the circumstances that led them to this desolate predicament, they navigate through the depths of three distinct destinies. Bound by the confines of their shared space, every aspect of their existence becomes a boundary, underscoring their plight.
