Brothers of the Sea

Bernardo and Diego lived what many would call a dream—surfing perfect waves and being deeply connected to the ocean. However, they also endured immense hardship, raising themselves after being abandoned at a young age. Yet, despite having so little, they found joy and built lives full of meaning. Their story isn’t about wealth or titles but about the incredible power of gratitude, family, and a deep connection to nature. Watching them grow from orphans to loving fathers is a transformative journey—because it challenges us all to rethink what success means. The film premiered at the 2025 Mountainfilm Festival, won the 1.4 Awards, took home honors at the Berlin Commercial Awards, was nominated in Beyond the Short, and was selected as a Daily Pick by Film Shortage.
