In an isolated fishing village, Esmerina is married to a fisherman and has 26 children. The oldest son secretly desires to leave to see the world beyond the sea. The daily routine of this family is suddenly altered when a mysterious boat runs aground on the beach entering Ana, a girl who survived the shipwreck.

More mystical than real. More allegorical than actual.  The film challenges the human need to venture beyond the known and the fear of change that keeps many immobilized.
