As a magical moon creeps in the twilight, different timelines entwine in the town
of Manzanillo, located in the Caribbean coast of Costa Rica. The youth and the
elderly unite and collide in a tale where the town is able to exist as it is: both
beautiful and forgotten, mysterious and monotonous. As if in a dream or a
memory, mixing a documentary style and science fiction, this story is a search for
the complexities of what it means to grow up in a place like Manzanillo.
