At the age of 22, when Vin finally gets to join the sea, things go terribly wrong. His father drowns. Since his return, Vin is not the same and lives with an immense sense of guilt.

Due to his closed upbringing, he cannot talk about this despite his sister's hopeless attempts. Afraid of facing the same fate as his father, his guilt slowly drives him to madness.

This short thriller talks about the negative effects of parenthood, transgenerational trauma, and tradition.
