His reply, which he slips into the mailbox, finds its way to her, beginning a parallel-time love story separated by a span of two years.

A review by Alunauwie

Written on September 29, 2025
Il Mare presents a beautifully crafted time-travel romance that balances emotional depth with a clever narrative structure, successfully connecting two souls across different years through a mysterious mailbox. While the film handles its time-loop logic with surprising clarity—especially in showing cause and effect between timelines—it does leave a few unanswered questions, particularly regarding character placements in the altered future. Strong visuals, fitting music, and touching performances support its melancholic tone, making it a memorable watch for fans of subtle, fictional romantic dramas.
