Ashore portrays the life of a singular fisherman in an ancient riverfront community near Lisbon. Divided between the quiet solitude of the river and the family ties that wash him ashore, the film follows Albertino Lobo, as nature renews itself with each season cycle.
In the wake of winning the Golden Bear for Best Short in 2016, Portuguese director Leonor Teles crafted an exquisitely textured portrait of a taciturn fisherman and his ebullient family. Filmed across four seasons, the documentary finds moments of beauty in labor and leisure, the boat and the home.
