What happens

A House with a View of the Sea (Spanish: Una casa con vista al mar) is a 2001 drama film written and directed by Alberto Arvelo, and a Spain-Canada co-production with Venezuela. It was Venezuela's submission to the 74th Academy Awards for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, but was not accepted as a nominee. It was first released in Europe in 2003, before its Venezuelan premiere a year later. It stars Imanol Arias, Gabriel Arcand, and Leandro Arvelo. ABC describes the film as an "intimate and crude history about the Venezuelan peasants of 1948". (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
