A contemplative science-fiction meditation on identity and embodiment, following an alien consciousness discovering what it means to inhabit a human body and form connections.

A mysterious young woman materializes in the middle of the southwestern desert, where each step teaches her about her new world and her new body. As she assumes her new life, she discovers she has a twin with whom she shares more than just an outward appearance.
