Wind & Salt
Off the coast of Barcelona, a small sailing boat moves between harbour walls and open water, tracing the edge where city noise gives way to rigging and wind. This documentary follows the quiet labour that keeps a vessel alive, hands on halyards, sails mended on deck, salt washed from skin and steel. Shot in natural light and made at the boat’s pace, the work looks closely at routine: hoist, trim, tack, stow; vermouth on the deck; weather checked by watching the water, not a screen. The skyline stays present but distant—cranes, breakwaters, and beach towers slipping in and out of frame as the boat turns to the breeze.
“Viento y Sal (Wind & Salt)” is a study of materials and attention: canvas under strain, rope polished by use, the way a gesture is learned and shared. It is less about destination than endurance and care, how a small crew reads the sea, how a boat becomes a moving home, how wind writes its lines on water and face alike.
