"La Duarte" has become an autonomous body, separated from the city, with its own biosphere. This bubble of chaos will get bigger and bigger as false civility grows. In order to coexist in the urban jungle, the animal will have to be provoked. Survival becomes primitive, instinctive, and visceral. The most important thing has been to resist and survive. You feel the fervour, you feel the danger and something that is hidden in this jungle.

During the Catalan independence referendum, Marie, a Dominican filmmaker, documents the cultural identity of Sory, a small business owner, single mother and lesbian. Despite becoming friends and after having agreed to being filmed from the outset, Sory turns away Marie's camera from the hair salon when her son migrates illegally to Spain. Marie returns to her country and turns the camera toward Lisset, Sory's daughter. Lisset has to decide whether to move to Barcelona with her mother or to stay in Santo Domingo with her children. Amid flags and polarized societies, Marie exposes a family divided by frontiers more complex than those set up by the water that surrounds the island.
