- Synopsis
- Sara, a Uruguayan-Brazilian scientist who has dedicated herself to the study of copepods since she was 18, sees her meticulously planned life crumble when a forced return to Uruguay reconnects her with her roots and identity. Amid landscapes that evoke her past and the sound of the Spanish she once rejected, she embarks on a journey of self-discovery, where science and spirituality intertwine. Inspired by the Kabbalistic tradition of Tikun, this Latin American drama reveals that, to move forward, one must sometimes first repair oneself.
