    • Synopsis
    • Samuel, the last freediving fisherman of grouper, lives isolated on an island. One day, he unexpectedly receives a visit from his son, now called Priscila, a transgender prostitute looking for a place to hide. He allows her to stay despite his constant rejection. The area's fishermen observe everything with strangeness and one of them extorts Priscila because he knows why she’s hiding. After suffering an accident, Samuel must accept the care of his daughter, and this brings them closer together. They take the opportunity to dive together in life to heal a broken past and to accept each other in the depth of the sea; like groupers, who can change sex when they reach maturity.
