Synopsis

Nadia is a Haitian biologist who had to leave her culture, homeland, and the people she loves most to dedicate herself to her research. She moved to Cuba, where she studies the local flora and fauna, which are similar to those of her home country. Despite the similarities provided by the Caribbean context, the cultural differences between the two countries run deep, starting with language and religion. Accustomed to Haitian Creole, derived from French, and to Vodou, the Afro-Haitian religion, Nadia has had to learn Spanish to communicate in Cuba and adapt to the traditions of the Afro-Cuban religion, Santería. Her life takes an unexpected turn when a mysterious presence emerges from the depths of the waters, and the forest begins to whisper in unknown languages. This enigmatic visitor is Yvon, her former love from Haiti. For Nadia, it makes her homeland feel more distant than ever.
