“The Fisherman’s Daughter” hits theaters with a far from idyllic story

By Eduardo de Assumption*“The Fisherman’s Daughter” (La Estrategia del Mero, Colombia/Puerto Rico/Dominican Republic, 2023) Priscila (Nathalia Rincón) is a transgender prostitute who, accused of murder, flees to the home of her father, Samuel (Roamir Pineda). He is the last grouper fisherman living on the island of La Aguja, in Panama, and has lived alone and bitter for 15 years due to the departure of his wife and son.

The reunion hits Priscila and Samuel’s lives like a storm and, isolated on the island and confronted by their differences, father and daughter will need to seek understanding for the present in the affections of the past.

In a sexist and patriarchal community, and very isolated from the outside world, Samuel cannot accept Priscila, and she cannot forgive him for past events. But dramatic events end up forcing the two to seek reconciliation. These dialogues between father and daughter are almost always filled with emotion and a palpable pain that needs to be healed.

The film dives into the crystal clear waters of the Caribbean Sea, through cinematography by Rafael González, with many scenes of fishing, sand and sea air, and shows how these paradises can sometimes not be so paradisiacal.

Nathalia Rincón is a highlight as Priscila, she offers all the nuances that do not make her character monotonous, in addition to reaching another level when, due to provincial conventions, she has to wear men’s clothes.

Themes such as transphobia, homophobia, trauma, loss and domestic violence are addressed, but without ever weighing down the tone in the directorial debut of Colombian Edgar De Luque Jácome, who also wrote the script.

It’s a commendable debut coming from a place where few queer works emerge: “I see ‘The Fisherman’s Daughter’ as a universal story about those who have to face their demons and resolve their deepest differences in a simple and powerful context, like the sea, which, with its current, takes them to the shore, to a second chance”, explains the director.
