A haunting meditation on grief, faith, and the search for meaning in the aftermath of collective tragedy, built around an enigmatic act of creation that divides a traumatized community.

Ten years after a tsunami destroyed a small-town elementary school with all the children inside, a young man builds a mysterious structure out of the school's remains, setting the town aflame with passions long forgotten.
