In pandemic-stricken Cuba, Landi hunts crocodiles by hand in the Zapata marshes to feed his family. His wife Mercedes gathers charcoal and cares for their autistic son. As days pass with no word from Landi, fear grows. When he finally returns, their cycle of survival, absence, and silence continues.
