A House with a View of the Sea (Spanish: Una casa con vista al mar) is a 2001 black-and-white Venezuelan film directed by Alberto Arvelo, and a Spain-Canada co-production with Venezuela. It was Venezuela's submission to the 74th Academy Awards for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, but was not accepted as a nominee. It was first released in Europe in 2003, before its Venezuelan premiere a year later.

It stars Imanol Arias, Gabriel Arcand, and Leandro Arvelo.

ABC describes the film as an "intimate and crude history about the Venezuelan peasants of 1948".

Synopsis

Based on the novel Vincentino Guerrero by Freddy Sosa, it tells the story of a farming family in 1948 Los Andes headed by Tomás Alonso that is broken when his wife dies, leaving him to take care of his son alone. To console him, Tomás gives his son a photograph of his mother by the sea, with the boy developing a fascination for the sea. Tomás struggles with wanting his son to love the farmland and protecting the boy from their richer neighbors.
