Synopsis:
Thousands of people have crossed the Mediterranean over the years trying to reach Europe. “Cartas mojadas” tells, through a mysterious voice from the bottom of the sea, the most tragic epic of our contemporary history. Following letters written by mothers to their children, the voice accompanies the NGO Open Arms ship on its most dramatic mission, struggling to save 550 people from shipwreck. Forgetting that this is a true story, the situation worsens when the film takes us on board a Libyan coastguard ship and transports us to one of the most dangerous places in the world in Libya, where human beings are mistreated and enslaved.
