We're All Sailors (Spanish: Todos somos marineros) is a 2018 drama film written and directed by Miguel Angel Moulet in his directorial debut.[1] It stars Andrey Sladkov and Ravil Sadreev.[2]
Three Russian sailors have found themselves stranded aboard a fishing trawler off the coast of Chimbote, a port city in Peru. The ship's owner's company has gone bankrupt, and the crew has abandoned the vessel, leaving Krystof, his younger brother, and the skipper without the resources to return home. The three men have been surviving as best they can by commuting between the ship and the port for their daily necessities, while awaiting their next course of action[3]
