A melancholic family drama that uses a search for documents and identity to excavate buried trauma, secrets, and loss across generations.

With her mother's diary in hand, Marina's search for official documents for university leads her to her biological family on the Atlantic coast. What starts as an administrative quest reveals long-buried family secrets.
