A Sea Apart is a thought-provoking and intelligent independent film in the true sense of the word. Through the unique and personal vision of its very talented writer/director, Ersi Danou, the film offers a rare opportunity to experience a lyrical and poignant human story. The narrative style, like a cinematic mosaic, each delicately handled piece adding up to a sensitive and poetic whole, avoids the melodramatic or formulaic treatment common to films of this genre.
