A cop in exile, a coke-loving crooner, a mute who never washes and a woman who could be as much a saint as a murderer. On the banks of the Sargasso Sea, eels are not the only ones who come to die. A murky, mystical thriller, made of sweat and dust.

Four hundred years B.C., Aristotle asserted that eels were born from the entrails of the Earth. In the 20th century, we’ve discovered that they leave their rivers to cross the Atlantic in a violent, 6000-kolimeter-long journey in order to reproduce and finally die. In this murky, surrealistic thriller, two desperate women unite their destinies, free themselves from everything and take their lives into their own hands. A movie between a Greek tragedy and an allegory of a nation in crisis.
