In a southern European country, the young woman Irene speaks up. She addresses different people. The course of her life depends on them. With each brief exchange, she offers us a small glimpse of her pain. We sense the looming tragedy through her words and witness its surprising aftermath. 'Close to the Sea' is a dramatic fiction by Ruth Vilar, inspired by a true story and translated by Clare Nimmo. A succession of raw, brave and moving monologues. An audiobook drama with Aina Calpe playing the role of Irene and an epilogue by Elvira Lindo. Directed and recorded by Aina Calpe, featuring Roger Gascon and GATE24 Audio.
