Giorgio (39) and Silvia (28) have just discovered a natural paradise on the Pacific coast of Mexico. They are madly in love with each other, and everything seems perfect. Here the tides are so strong that the landscape changes continuously: one day it is an archipelago of islands, another day it forms pools in the dunes, the next day everything turns into a desert. Nothing is ever the same. In the face of so much magmatic change, as if the landscape was the mirror of their souls, Giorgio and Silvia slowly begin to lose their sense of identity. But while Giorgio sees this as an opportunity to erase the past and start over, Silvia gradually feels all the certainties she used to have collapse. In this place where the inside and the outside are mixed, they begin to engage in a fight for survival and self-affirmation. Just one word of love would be enough to understand each other, but silence has taken over.
