    • Synopsis
    • A cruise ship coasts through Southern Latin America. Among the crew is Window boy, a young sailor who discovers a hallway on board that mysteriously leads to an apartment in Montevideo. Attracted by the discovery, Window boy crosses over the apartment in the evenings until he meets Elsa, the woman who lives there. They quickly fall in love with each other and Window boy moves in with her to the apartment. But while he seems to begin a new life outside the cruise ship, Elsa finds the mysterious door and disappears through the other side of the hallway... Meanwhile, thousands of kilometres away, close to a small rural village in Banaue, Phillipines, a group of farmers find an old abandoned shed in the expanse of a valley. The farmers are amazed and assign it supernatural powers. One of them, Jung, has a premonitory dream during guard duty and one night he manages to dodge the security guard and breaks into the shed… Window boy, Elsa and Jung will find themselves together cruising to the southernmost tip of South America, Cape Horn.
