Synopsis

A former priest seeks solitude as a hermit on a remote island, hoping to escape his past and find peace. His quiet existence is disrupted when a young boy, lost and alone, washes ashore, forcing the hermit to confront his reclusive life and the responsibilities of human connection. This encounter challenges his understanding of faith, community, and his own capacity for love and sacrifice.
