A cat wakes up in a world covered in water, where the human race seems to have disappeared. It takes refuge on a boat with a group of other animals. But getting along with them proves to be an even greater challenge than overcoming its fear of water. Together, they must learn to overcome their differences and adapt to the new world they now inhabit.
Marina travels to Vigo to meet the family of her biological father, who died of AIDS, just like her mother, when she was very young. Through encounters with her uncles, aunts, and grandparents, she tries to reconstruct the story of her parents, but everyone feels too much shame about the couple’s drug-related struggles—something Marina’s presence inevitably reminds them of. It is the teenage love story she experiences with her cousin that allows her to reimagine her parents and connect with them. In this way, she creates a tale, aided by her mother’s diary, that frees her from the stigma her family feels toward them and fulfills her desire to understand the past… A film about family memory that concludes the director’s trilogy, which includes Summer 1993 and Alcarràs.
