Off Mexico's Pacific coast lies the island of Capaluco. Once a busy resort catering to passing cruise ships, it is now empty of humans. A curious sea creature emerges from the water after traveling on the strong Philippine current. The Siyokoy navigates through the island's architectural afterlife, interacting with the spectral sounds. Something of a science fiction documentary embedded within, The Quiet Side speculates on the future of the non-inhabitants of the architectural remains.
