Mexican actor and director Gael García Bernal presented the film "Hombre al agua" at the Venice Film Festival. This is another incursion by Bernal behind the cameras, after having already directed other feature films.

The feature film is described as a fable that addresses the manipulation of the powerful. The production features Puerto Rican singer Ricky Martin in the cast, marking a collaboration between the two Latin American artists.

The Venice Film Festival is one of the most prestigious events in world cinema, where Bernal had the opportunity to present his work to international audiences and specialized critics.

The work represents another step in Bernal's career as a filmmaker, consolidating his transition from actor to director in projects that explore social and political issues through a symbolic narrative.
