And that\u2019s called courage and determination. Moura leaves the macho persona behind to literally dive into a gay character, who\u2019s very masculine and had decided to give love a chance, even if sacrifices must be done. He plays Donato, a lifeguard on the dangerous beach of the title, who\u2019s suffering after he wasn\u2019t able to save a man from sinking in the deep waters. When he notifies the deceased\u2019s partner, a German tourist, about his loss, they become associated with the tragedy, and start a mission to rescue the body. But since the first moment they meet, there\u2019s a sense of uncontrolled vulnerability floating over their heads and bodies. They surrender to the secret desire increasingly committing themselves to the passionate affair. The director observes carefully these two men in conflict with their emotions, and unfolds their decisions promptly: the tourist must return home, and Donato looks at the immensity of the ocean, realizing the evident emptiness around him. He decides travelling to Europe where he\u2019ll be divided by his family ties and his love interest. A\u00efnouz then puts the focus on the migration effect, as their love will battle barriers of language, climate and cultural habits. He proves his film isn\u2019t just a gay love story, going much further pointing to social issues, such as the insecurity and uneasiness of modern relationships while seeking to settle down. The amazing cinematography by Ali Olcay G\u00f6zkays, dazzling captures the sunny risks of the beach and the cold dark skies of Germany, as well as the audacity of closer angles on the heat between the two guys. While Moura reveals himself as a fearless performer, A\u00efnouz scores another goal with his originality, creating a remarkable erotic thriller about a love that won\u2019t deny its strength.
