Yamel, a Mexican cinema student in Cuba, is randomly filming a stormy afternoon in Havana when Jans, an 18-year-old fisherman, walks across her frame and captures her attention. From that first recorded encounter, she, her camera and him become intertwined. As real emotions emerge, ethical questions appear. Why can’t she stop filming him?
