Khalil is a young man torn from his roots who lives on the edge of town, where the industrial estates merge into the river and the marshes.

On the banks of the marshes, the tides mark the time of love and heartbreak, of friendship and revenge.

A family story built upon what cannot be spoken: the open wound of the Basque people. A portrait of the contemporary Basque Country, exploring the bidirectional relationships between past and present.
