Synopsis
In a small coastal village in Brazil, the month of August brings high tides, strong winds and the arrival of a researcher recording the sound of the trade winds. His arrival coincides with a surprise discovery that takes two of the village’s young inhabitants on a journey that brings them face to face with a duel between life and death, loss and memory, the wind and the sea.
