A mother and her two children are fleeing Colombia and the armed conflict that took the woman’s husband, heading for an island in the middle of the Amazonian rainforest. She slowly realises that the place where life is ruled by the rhythms of the river tide might be inhabited by ghosts. This brightly magical portrait of a family in the style of Apichatpong Weerasethakul's films offers an unusual perspective of the refugee crisis.
