The documentary reflects on the fragmented history and cultural survival of a community over five generations. Through intimate personal testimonies, archival footage, and modern narratives, it highlights a lineage of people who built and preserved rich cultural traditions despite being left without structural support to continue them. The festival describes the film's tone as a protest-like journey—likening the community's struggle to "a house without a roof, a sea without water, a history still incomplete."
