Under the high summer sky, on the low land of a barren island, a young girl tries to force her father not to give up on what’s left of their family. Their whole existence is at stake at a meeting with the social worker later that day. But before the meeting can take place, before the struggle can begin, she must help him pass by the place that is haunting him.
