Synopsis:

Robinson is shipwrecked off the coast of the extreme south of Spain. After a tremendous struggle in the stormy waters, he manages to reach the safety of the shore and save his life. He is an anonymous exile in a foreign land, just like so many other thousand of black Africans. Robinson manages to find some work in one of the many large greenhouses that grow fruit and vegetables along the coast of Almeria, but his condition as an illegal immigrant is precarious and he decides to move further inland. Robinson's mind is troubled with interior voices, spirits that control and confound him. In order to free himself from them, he must fulfill a mission: to kill a man.

Pedro Aguilera confirms his membership in the select group of Spanish experimental helmers worth watching with "Shipwreck," a challenging but rewarding study of a sub-Saharan African immigrant in Spain. Less austere than Aguilera's debut, "The Influence," this slow, elliptical and visually rich spin on "Robinson Crusoe" confounds expectations by being symbolic and lyrical rather than gritty and downbeat, while its hero exploits Europe to get what he wants rather than the other way around. This brave defiance of convention is welded to some startling imagery, a combination that should help "Shipwreck" drifts festward.

About the persecution of an illegal immigrant from Africa living in Spain.
