ABOUT THE MOVIE:
From the high psychological and literary concept of Huling Pasada at last year’s Cinemalaya, writer-director Paul Sta. Ana ventures this time into the mainstream realm, exploring the drama behind OFW’s and their families. Marino is a film that aims to shed light on the sacrifices and triumphs brought about by overseas employment, experienced particularly by seafarers.
Benjo (Allen Dizon) is about to embark on yet another journey as a seafarer, leaving his wife (Ara Mina) and daughter behind.
Life on the ship is set. Professional kinship is developed as common aspirations and perils define life on board. Amidst the call of duty, the rudiments, difficulties and hazards of being a seaman, with his simple and noble acts of heroism are shown. Sea pirates, sunken ships, sexually transmitted diseases, foreign employment are among many issues that beset the job.
Marino is a film that focuses on the individual lives of a seafarer husband and a grieving wife, separated by physical distance, learning to cope with the situation despite the length of time apart from each other, gasping in the depths of loneliness, uncertainty and fear, surging in the waves of hope, and never letting go.
