Description
A young refugee washes up unconscious on the beach of a small island, bringing an end to Samuel's long period of solitude. As he tends to the stranger, memories of his former life on the mainland begin to resurface, revealing a complex history of colonization, independence, and oppression. The arrival of this new man forces Samuel to confront his own guilt and fear, as well as the meaning of home and belonging.
