Luciano was just another boy lost. Barely surviving in the shadow of the Sentinel. Set in the fishing community of Hangberg, in Hout Bay, where many young men are drifting aimlessly and grasping at poaching, gangsterism, and crime. “Luciano” is a short silhouette film that follows the story of one such young man, who is swimming against the current. It is a story of a boy reaching a breaking point, taking a leap and finding himself in his true element. By unifying his peers and exposing and nudging them towards the ocean, Luciano becomes a lifesaver, both on and off the beach.
