The Sea 

by Douglas Rosenberg

A poetic exploration of aging, intimacy and camaraderie, set against the evocative backdrop of the Baltic Sea.

The Sea is a black-and-white feature film directed by Douglas Rosenberg, filmed entirely on location along the Baltic Sea. Drawing inspiration from the evocative landscapes of Ingmar Bergman’s Fårö Island, the film explores aging and the intimate relationships between men in their later years. Featuring a cast of predominantly untrained performers from the Fårö area, The Sea reflects on camaraderie and the ways life’s experiences leave their marks on our bodies, expressed through movement and the passage of time.
