Seventeen-year-old twins Iris and Ariel live with their mother and older sister Lia on a rocky island full of mollusks and reptiles. The adolescents have grown up isolated from the continent, in a fraternal relationship exceeding the limits of normal intimacy between siblings and in transcendental connection with nature.
