Bucks Harbor

Downeast Maine is a narrow stretch of rugged coastline chiselled between the forest and the sea. Here, boys are shaped by the brutal winters, their harvesting of the ocean’s bounty and the rigid codes of their fathers. Bucks Harbor explores the inner lives of these fishermen, young and old, and the emotional complexity of growing up in a community where a man’s worth is often defined by the strength of his back. The lobsters they hunt, deep on the ocean floor, serve as a metaphor for the adversity, survival and guarded vulnerability on land.
