Lucas travels to visit his sister in a remote southern Chilean town, before going to live in Canada. Opposite the ocean and the fog he meets Antonio, the boatswain on a local fishing ship. When an intense romance emerges between the two, the relationship will force them to face up to their reality and abandon their solitude, learning to trust those around them. While the waves thunder into the bay, their strength, independence and adulthood gain strength against the tide. (San Sebastian International Film Festival)

The Strong Ones doesn't have much to surprise within its genre, as it deals with themes that have been depicted before, but the film managed to win me over thanks to the civilian performances and the gradually escalating story. Aside from the brief but all the more passionate relationship between Lucas and Antonio, the film also peripherally deals with a marital crisis, so it doesn't feel as monotonous. The beautiful coastal locations and the nice musical score are a bonus. Weaker four stars!
