Synopsis

Ivan goes to live with his father, Vincente, the stationmaster in a small remote village in inland Portugal. Gloria lives with a nurse, Teresa, who looks after emigrants’ children in the house next to the station. Gloria always seems to be slipping away from everything and everyone, spending countless hours playing on the hillsides and among the ruins with Ivan. She wanders off, strangely attracted by Mauro who has come back from prison and is now threatening again his brother, Vincente. Set apart from all this is the secret refuge, the only safe place on the planet. Ivan is happy to share Gloria’s secret: a small haven hidden in the river, below the water that separates the worlds.
