Synopsis

Alberto Navarro is a 28-year-old man who lives in the Ciénaga Grande de Santa Marta, where he has had to learn to live while being locked in a body that does not accept orders, as a result of dystonia; disease that inhibits its autonomous movement and that keeps it connected to a full-time artificial respirator. His mother works hard to buy medicines for his son and trying to make sure he does not miss anything. One day, the young man makes the decision to go to the sea and convinces his mother to take him to see it with his own eyes. Aware that this is one of the few things that his son has asked for in his life, the mother accepts without suspecting that all he wants is to escape desperately from the place that holds him back.
