Description

A young Spanish woman, Ana, lives in a small town on the north-west coast of Tenerife, where the mighty volcano looms large. Her family's winemaking business is struggling, and the town's reliance on the sea makes them vulnerable to the island's unpredictable climate.

When Ana notices a change in the lake's water colour and the disappearance of the island's unique wildlife, she begins to suspect that the volcano is more than just a dormant threat. With the help of an old man who has seen an eruption and a boy with disabilities, Ana must convince the town to flee before it's too late.

A tense and suspenseful tale of survival and determination, set against the stunning backdrop of 18th-century Tenerife.
