Guillermo Casanova Arosteguy (born in Montevideo, November 30th, 1963) is a Uruguayan filmmaker known for his films Seawards Journey (2003) and Another Story of the World (2017).
The tale of five Uruguayan villagers who embark on a journey to see the ocean for the first time. They depart in a broken down freight truck, property of Rodríguez, a taciturn man who loves the sea. Their point of departure is a local bar, and at the last minute, an unknown man from the bar joins their adventure.
A small town, two families joined together over time. A man who does not forget the values of honor and fraternal friendship. From the director of The Journey to the Sea, history proposes the coalition of two worlds or, perhaps, the same but with different ways of understanding it.
"With the democratic recovery in Uruguay, a state defined by some as "the drifting situation in which Uruguayan culture is found" becomes explicit. A youth sector oscillates between transformative creativity and disenchantment, they question their elders, the country and their conservative and exclusive habits." - Ulf Kjell Gür
