About the film
In the coastal city of Dalian, a young Peruvian man meets a Chinese woman by the ocean. Through walks, shared seafood and nighttime encounters by the pier, their initial distance slowly gives way to an intimate connection. After an unexpected separation, fate brings them together again. Beneath the city lights and the flight of seagulls, they hold hands and embark on a new journey together.
