Sea Prayer is composed in the form of a letter, from a father to his son, on the eve of their journey. Watching over his sleeping son, the father reflects on the dangerous sea-crossing that lies before them. It is also a vivid portrait of their life in Homs, Syria, before the war, and of that city's swift transformation from a home into a deadly war zone. Súplica a la Mar se compone en forma de una carta, de un padre a su hijo, en la víspera de su viaje. Cuidando a su hijo dormido, el padre reflexiona sobre el peligroso cruce marítimo que se encuentra ante ellos. También es un retrato vívido de su vida en Homs, Siria, antes de la guerra, y de la rápida transformación de esa ciudad de un hogar a una zona de guerra mortal.
