The living call for revenge. The dead minerals and vegetables demand revenge. It is the hour of general protest. It's time for the destroying flights. It's time for the barricades, the shootings. Famines, desires, cravings, lost dreams, miseries of all countries, unite.

In the middle of a landscape on the brink of extinction, a couple of mom and son trek into a native cave in order to recount their lifetime memories together. This personal portrait cuts deep into the vulnerable present moments of an ex-colonized nation which is transiting into the digital age. Told in the first-person perspective camera, this film also explores a new possibility of storytelling.
Three years after the death of her beloved child, Elouise, Mara still feels her presence when she sits on the butterfly bedding in front of the jar with her ashes in it. Mara arranges a twelfth birthday party for Elouise, further alienating her from her husband, Richter, and remaining daughter, Hannah. Although Mara eventually vacates Elouise's room at the insistence of her husband, she does find a way to stay close to Elouise. Before long, however, Hannah discovers her mother's secret.
