Plot synopsis
On the Pacific coast of Mexico, in the region that Ina Maria chose as her home but where she lived for too short a time, her father and younger sister Una set off on a journey, retracing her route. Here, amid the amazing and resilient nature of the mangroves—in a lagoon scarred by hurricanes but reborn again and again—they begin to navigate the fragile space of loss. Director Sharunas Bartas lays bare his emotions in the act of passing on memory, allowing history to be reborn, following the natural cycles of life.
