Overview

Sound of the Sea is a drama and romance film released in the United States on October 10, 2001, with a runtime of one hour and thirty-five minutes. The story follows a new literature teacher named Ulises who arrives in a small town near the sea and falls in love with a young woman named Martina. Although Martina is also loved by a rich businessman and property developer named Alberto, she chooses Ulises. Soon after their marriage and the birth of their son, Ulises mysteriously vanishes while fishing at sea. Following his disappearance, Martina marries Alberto, but all is not what it seems in the unfolding drama. Directed as a classic attack on flawed and narcissistic masculinity, the film explores both the alpha-male property developer and the poet Ulises, who is eventually revealed to be an equally manipulative narcissist. This powerful and engaging motion picture presents a complex dynamic between its characters in a seaside setting.
