PRESS RELEASE
‘A taut, stylish drama brimming with heated sex and illicit desire.’ – The Hollywood Reporter. Callow student Jason Day, feeling both guilt and grief after the traumatic death of his father, plans to leave Lima for the Peruvian beach town of Máncora. A surprise visit by his beautiful stepsister Elsa Pataky and her aloof husband Enrique Murciano,returned from New York after a long absence, results in them joining him for the trip. Along the way the couple fights, Enrique leaves, and Brazilian hitchhiker Phellipe Haagensen joins the group. Up in Máncora, the surf, sand and sensual atmosphere provide the travelers many new adventures, the threat of danger, and the promise of new beginnings. Official selection, 2008 Sundance Film Festival.
