A melancholic character study of two isolated people—a grieving graduate and a homeless squatter—whose unexpected encounter at a seaside cottage explores loneliness, displacement, and tentative human connection.

Oona, a recent graduate in anthropology, has returned to her dead mother’s seaside cottage in southern England to prepare it for sale. Her arrival disturbs Mani, a wary vagrant who has been squatting on the property.
