Synopsis<\/h3>\n

David (40) is stuck in a run-down harbour town waiting for a boat to take him home. When all boats are cancelled indefinitely, he is left in a state of limbo. David doesn’t know what to do until he meets fellow traveller Rosa (31), who seems to know the inner workings of the city. The two are an unlikely pair: Rosa is exuberant and David is burnt out, but both want to leave the island and get back to their lives. Rosa doesn’t have a ticket for the boat, and she’s determined to find one before it leaves. Rosa leads David further into town and together they traverse this strange form of purgatory. They meet the islanders and piece together their past lives through shared conversations and memories. David is haunted by visions of his past, seeing people and places he thought he had lost.<\/p>\n

When David is confronted with a different version of himself, he is forced to make a decision. With time running out to find a ticket, Rosa must face her own past before she can attempt to escape the island. Both David and Rosa must try to regain their souls piece by piece before the boat finally sets sail. In the end, only one of them can be saved.<\/p>\n
