In a remote village in the Caribbean, a fanciful child encounters an old alcoholic hunter. The latter seems to hold a secret while being unable to reveal it. The child takes upon himself the task of unravelling the mystery.
The peregrinations of the child represent a quasi-impossible quest that is similar to an initiation journey: the passage from childhood to adulthood.
