**_Love story on the shores of Corpus Christi_**
A teen woman and a 22 years-old man meet on the Gulf coast south of Houston and fall in love. But can their love survive a lie, occupational success and the passing of years?
"The Sand Dune" (2018) is an indie drama/romance that’s proficiently made, except for maybe the acting of the stepfather in a brief scene. Something unexpected happens just before the halfway point that perks interest just when the easygoing love story starts to get tedious.
Lovely Lynnea Smith as protagonist Aylin is one of the highlights, as are the locations of the South Texas shores. The second half throws in some interesting or amusing bits, like Aylin’s celebrity beau, Bjorn.
It runs 1 hour, 29 minutes, and was shot in Corpus Christi, Texas, and Kansas City, Missouri.
