Event Description

Miguel is a young fisherman of Cabo Blanco, a village in northern Peru with specific traditions regarding death. He is married to Mariela, but he also has a secret affair with a man, Santiago.
Santiago accidentally drowns at sea, and his ghost returns to ask Miguel to find his body, in order to bury it with their village's rituals. Miguel is forced to deal with the consequences of their actions and accept who he really is, even at the risk of losing the people that he loves.
