Adirane returns to the family home in her town next to the river in the north of the Basque Country with the fragile excuse of recording her Granny Ruth's first childhood memories of the Civil War. She has left her husband and her five-year-old daughter behind, without a word of explanation, in order to find a new way of looking at her own past. Her mother, Adriana, also lives with Granny Ruth, but she hasn't spoken to her mother for years. What does it mean to bring up and care for someone under three very distinct historical and political contexts, and in a land that is always full of tension. Moving with the rhythm and the strength of the tides the mothers and daughters in this tale weave a multigenerational story of a family shaken by secrets and tensions that until then had been kept at arms length.
