Alamar is a simple yet hypnotic film that follows a father and son as they go fishing before the son leaves for Rome with his Mother. That's pretty much it, but it is so gentle and tender and so beautifully shot it's impossible not to enjoy. The scene in which they both train a Bird to stand on their arms is so simple but so captivating. I'm not one to gush over nothing but I found watching Alamar to be both therapeutic and uplifting. Neorealism at its best, I recommend to all for a breath of something new and simple.
