Cartas mojadas (wet letters)

Morada Films

Director Paula Palacios has been tackling a good part of the problems that drive our contemporary society for more than ten years, but always thought of from places other than those proposed by the West. All of her work seems to be a direct denunciation of the voices of those whom we barely listen to or read. In this line of work, his latest documentary traces the history of people who jump into the sea in order to reach a destination that provides them with a better life.

Synopsis: Cartas mojadas (wet letters) narrates, through a mysterious voice from the bottom of the sea, the most tragic epic of our contemporary history. Following the letters exchanged between mothers and sons, we accompany the Open Arms ship on its most dramatic mission: saving 550 people from shipwreck. Forgetting that this is a true story, the situation worsens when the film takes us aboard a Libyan coast guard ship and takes us to one of the most dangerous places in the world in Libya, where human beings are mistreated and enslaved.
