Facu and his uncle, distant from each other, sail to Facu’s late father’s house, who died in a confusing incident with the coast guard during an environmental protest. As they enter the cold, swampy island forest, two coast guards watch them, making the uncle uneasy, while Facu dismisses his father’s fate. They confront each other, deepening the pain of absence, driving Facu to enter his father’s house. The coast guards approach the uncle, and Facu escapes into the forest but one guard follows him, drawing his weapon. Facu’s only option is to jump into the river, realizing underwater that to save his uncle he must reconnect with his father.
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
