Lavinia is a tempest. She is impulsive, miscalculates and does not really know how to love. She wants to be a good mother for her son Dani, and dreams that their house will become a palace under bluer skies. Their story unfolds under the quiet, watchful presence of the river, down in a valley where time flows in unpredictable ways and grief lingers beneath the surface.
