The Sea Inside is a poignant film that tells the story of Ramón Sampedro, a man who has been paralyzed for 28 years and his fight for the right to end his life with dignity. Confined to his bed, Ramón's sharp mind and wit remain intact. The film explores themes of love, freedom, and the meaning of life, as Ramón's relationships with two women—one a lawyer, the other a local woman—highlight his impact on those around him. Through its moving narrative, the film questions the boundaries of personal control over one's destiny.
