Music Note:

The soundtrack stands out for its sensitivity and realism in supporting the film’s intense humanitarian story. Bataller creates an organic soundscape derived from elements of the narrative itself—such as the sea, the wind, and the everyday sounds of the rescue ship—integrating strings, unconventional instruments, and light electronic textures to underline emotions and dramatic tension without exaggeration. The music flows like a “wave,” beginning gently, growing with the story, and accompanying the emotional climax while remaining connected to the reality depicted, reinforcing the humanitarian impact without distracting from the visuals.
