Shirley has left the big city to live in a small seaside town and look after her grandmother. She drives a tractor in a local coconut plantation and is having a fling with Jeison, who also works on the farm, and who dives for fish on the high seas. Amidst the storms that invade the region in the month of August, a wind researcher, who registers the sea breezes in the Intertropical Zone of Convergence, arrives in the town. His arrival, the high tides and the growing winds mark the following days of the inhabitants of the village weaving a poetic narrative on the duel between life and death, the Wind and the Sea.
