Drama. Fantasy Time seems to stand still in a village in the Galician coast. Everybody there is paralyzed although we can still hear their voices: they talk about ghosts, about witches, about monsters. Three women show up, they are trying to find Rubio, a sailor that has recently disappeared in the sea.

	Author	Review
	Alfonso Rivera Cineuropa	"A highly sensorial experience that moves through a timeless space, detached from reality but not travelling clearly through the nightmares either. With scenes of breath-taking beauty"	POS
United States	Neil Young The Hollywood Reporter	"Patino assembles a fragile vessel freighted with foreboding and dread, one that risks the reefs of ponderousness at numerous junctures but steers into the tranquil waters of the romantic sublime."	POS
United States	Christian Gallichio The Film Stage	"An uneven narrative that is often overshadowed by the film’s compositional beauty (...) A visually arresting film (...) Where the film falters, however, is in its invocation of the mythical."	NEU
United Kingdom	Steve Rose The Guardian	"The trance-like pacing and mystical meditation might frustrate viewers looking for an easy watch, but local film-maker Lois Patiño is clearly operating at the fine-art end of the cinema scale (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Natalia Winkelman The New York Times	"Though thin on story, the film is a majestic vision. But most captivating are the settings."	POS
