In a batey surrounded by sugarcane fields, a young Dominican-Haitian girl faces an unwanted pregnancy and an uncertain future. A serpent, embodying ancestral Mysteries, appears to guide her through shame, survival, and transformation. Blending striking imagery with spiritual depth, this debute feature by Afro-Caribbean filmmaker Johanné Gómez Terrero unfolds between the tangible and the obscured, where tradition, resilience, and the power of the unseen shape her journey into self-discovery.
