Synopsis
The haunted psychologies of the individual and the national combine in the Spanish film EL MAR (THE SEA). During the Spanish Civil War of the 1930s, three friends witness the horrific murder of a classmate. Many years later, the three find themselves reunited, although under less than happy circumstances. Tur and Ramallo have been quarantined for tuberculosis, and their old friend Francisca is a nun working in the asylum. They all remain haunted by what occurred during the war, as all of Spain was, and struggle to reconcile with their pasts, their religion, and the growing homosexual attraction between Tur and Ramallo.
