Slippery, colourful gummy bears and hundreds of little conches are used to construct a barrier against the stillness of a summer day. Two landscapes are juxtaposed, one of Georgian Bay in Lake Huron and the other of Veracruz Beach in Panama City. Two voices narrate an intimate conversation about the fear of dangers hidden deep in salty waters. Spanish with English subtitles.
