By The Sea is a 2002 American romantic comedy film[1] written and directed by Dean Barnes and Dean Huh. It was filmed at the Weekapaug Inn Westerly, Rhode Island.[2]
Plot[edit]
The beautiful Cuban-born but New York-raised pastry chef Lena Oscar has her life change dramatically as she loses her job, home, family and long-standing love in a fell swoop.
Lena’s longtime flame, the ambitious Julian finds new love and aspirations. He tosses Lena out of his life, and disenfranchises her from his family, the very family that took her in as a once orphan delivered by the beaches of Cuba at the age of three.
Locked out from her west-side apartment, she finds at her door a mysterious package sent to her from Cuba. She finds mementos from Cuba, from the life she never knew, wrapped in a small plain-wrap package. Photos, charms and an old pocket watch soon connect her to a beautiful and mysterious place in time located somewhere by the sea.
Lena is drawn to an old beachside resort in Rhode Island, called Ocean Inn. Taking on the job of Chef’s assistant, she is part of the pre-season crew prepping the Ocean Inn, outrageous continental Chef Steve Tuscano, unrelenting Chief of Staff Zelda, Italian Kitchen Assistants Massimo and Michaelangelo, and the shy but handsome Zen-devotee, the Maintenance Man, Nate Manning.
Lena and Nate find a simple but strong attraction for each other. Day by day Lena’s visions of the past become more powerful and vivid, They’re all triggered by the reverse ticking of her Father’s old memento – the watch. Mysteriously she’s visited by the ghost of a turn-of-the-century baseball player named Blue, who speaks to her in Lena’s native Cuban tongue relating to pressing matters of her heart.
