A nameless young woman is found on the verge of drowning off a remote island. She is taken in by Gabriela, a bitter and mysterious woman, who hides her and calls her Malvina. The island lives on secrets, grief, smuggling and revenge. As Malvina’s memory returns in shards of glass, blood and lost love, both must face the same question: remember in order to live, or forget in order to survive.
