The young Adam, accompanied by his brother Carlos, is engaged in the perilous journey across the desert between Mexico and the United States. As the desert threatens to swallow them, a telephone booth appears like a lighthouse in the middle of the ocean and its ringtone like the song of a mermaid.
Inspired by Julie Hétu’s book Pacific Bell, the film addresses a current issue by blending this cruel reality with a certain poetry, where imagination becomes a lifeline.
