Our take
The picturesque Aegean coast is filled with shades of regret and longing in this tense character drama. The tone of Across the Sea gets gradually darker as the remnants of an obsessive love rise to the surface of the sea. A meticulously staged, engrossing debut feature from Esra Saydam & Nisan Dağ.
