- Synopsis
- Haunted by the memory of witnessing her parents’ death on land, May now lives with Tuha, her grandfather, in a floating house - adrift on a lake far from land. Their homeland is now transformed into a mining area. Due to her past, now May is plagued by a mysterious condition that causes her to faint whenever she steps on land. The villagers believe May is cursed, a belief that isolates her further. Deep down, May longs to reclaim her life back on land - but she’s unsure how.
  
  When Lawa, a security candidate for the mining company enters her life, May sees a new hope. Lawa can help her get back to the land. But as soon as they try, an ominous incident befalls Tuha. It’s a stark reminder that the land remains a dangerous place. As Tuha’s health declines and ultimately fails, May is left at a crossroads, torn between fulfilling her grandfather’s dying wish to continue her isolated life on the water or risking everything to confront the dangers of the land.
