The phantom island of San Borondón is the subject of this experimental exploration that takes us above the earth and submerges us underwater. The unmistakable textures and colours of 16mm film and the use of digital cameras go hand in hand, creating a portrait of a landscape that is both mythical and real. The film has the ambience of an outer space expedition.

Middle-aged Gerald Kingsland advertises in a London paper for a female companion to spend a year with him on a desert island. Young Lucy Irving takes a chance on contacting him, but once on the island, things prove a lot less idyllic than in the movies. Gradually, it becomes clear that it is Lucy who has the desire and the strength to try and see the year through.

Jenn has washed ashore a small tropical island and it doesn’t take her long to realize she’s completely alone. She must spend her days not only surviving the elements, but must also fend off the malevolent force that comes out each night.
