Our take

Queer joy and an electric intimacy radiate from The Strong Ones, a Chilean love story hewn from a life-changing chance encounter. The magnetic pull of attraction is as strong as the wind and fog enveloping life on the remote—yet breathtakingly beautiful— fishing village from which passions unfold.
