Synopsis
Two Waters is a coming of age story following Nató, an 11-year-old boy who lives on the Caribbean Coast of Costa Rica, a lush natural tropical paradise that contrasts harshly with the social and economic poverty of the people living there.
To try to transcend his surroundings, where employment opportunities barely exist and crime and drug trafficking have become one of the few ways to make money, Nató has been playing football since he was little. He is chasing a dream his brother could never fulfill: becoming a football star and lifting his family out of poverty.
One day, Nató discovers that his brother owes a considerable amount of money to the local drug trafficking gang and that he is hopelessly and dangerously entangled in their world.
From that moment on, Nató and his friend Klane are willing to do anything possible, and even the impossible, to help his brother, without regard for risks or consequences. As their quest unfolds, the boys have to deal with and question their relationship with their family, the contradictory feelings that grow within them, as well as the vanishing line between the boundaries of “good” and “bad”.Two Waters is a coming of age story following Nató, an 11-year-old boy who lives on the Caribbean Coast of Costa Rica, a lush natural tropical paradise that contrasts harshly with the social and economic poverty of the people living there.
