A young girl named Marcela lives with her dad, Jose, a lighthouse keeper, and old Daniel on an island.

Daniel, who not only protects her from her dad's strictness but also teaches her how to be literate, is her source of tenderness.

Then one day, as she has her first period and becomes a woman, she starts feeling sexuality through the blowing wind, which she talks to.
