The creation myth is adapted into an animated short film made by Seri indigenous children and elders.
A Seri indigenous girl goes through a rite of passage where she must not sleep during the fourth night, because any nightmare she may have can become real.
In a desert by the sea, a culture survives modernity. A grandmother and her granddaughter intertwine in estrangement over memory. The myth sheds controversy; time falls in dreams of sand, old songs and rock music.
