About the film
Iván arrives on a desolate island to reunite with his boyfriend, unaware that the journey will lead to an irreversible loss. Consumed by grief and driven by an obsession to understand what happened, he agrees to take part in an ancient ritual led by a shaman. What begins as a search for solace turns into a descent into darkness: unknown forces breach the boundary between life and death. Iván must confront what has returned… and the price of having summoned it.
