The Sea (Catalan: El mar) is a 2000 Spanish drama film directed by Agustí Villaronga, starring Roger Casamayor.

The plot, set in Mallorca, follows the fates of three childhood friends traumatized by the violence they witnessed during the Spanish Civil War.

In the summer of 1936, the violence of the Spanish Civil war reaches a small village in Mallorca.

Four children: Andreu Ramallo, Manuel Tur, Pau Inglada and a girl, Francisca, are witness to the execution of leftists at the hands of pro-Franco villagers.

Over a decade later, Ramallo, now a cocky young man, is sent to a tuberculosis sanatorium on Mallorca to recuperate from the initial stages of the disease.

Ramallo, like all the tubercular and lung diseased patients, is placed in a large dormitory style room.

Ramallo with his boastfulness and stories of sexual prowess attracts the admiration of the other patients, particularly from Galindo, the youngest.

Shortly after his arrival, Ramallo receives the unwanted visit of Don Eugeni Morell, his former boss, smuggling contraband.

He recruits Manuel in helping him to steal the keys of Alcántara's car in order to go to the nearby port.

In fact, attracted to his friend, Manuel steals Ramallo's clothes but, in his morbid religious fervor, fights his desires that he believes are diabolical.
