Настъпил е дъждовният сезон и животът тече по обичайния начин за жителите на йеменския остров Сокотра. Недалеч от острова лодка, плаваща под израелски флаг потъва. Започва търсенето на оцелели. Един корабокрушенец е изхвърлен на самотен бряг. Неочаквано събитие води до внезапен обрат... От другата страна на острова местен мъж сънува корабокрушенец, който се нуждае от помощта му. Молейки Бог за отговори линията между фантазия и реалност става все по-тънка.

Ще победи ли съдбата и ще се върне ли обратно към живота?

Unwittingly (and politically), this film ends up being self-reflective. The French filmmaker Sylvie Ballyot was shooting a feminist documentary in Yemen when her tapes were requisitioned by the authorities. Adrift in unknown territory with the only help of a translator, Ballyot carried on, shooting images of herself in public spaces –the only woman in a crowd of men. Her reactions in a culture she is not familiar with get combined with interviews with students who talk about love, family, and sexuality.
