Acclaimed director and cinematographer Angelos Rallis filmed young Afrin, a 12-year-old orphan, who lived on desolate islands along the Brahmaputra River, devastated by heavy rains and floods, for five years. The film captures her refusal to surrender to Bangladesh's deadly tides as she rows toward the bustling metropolis of Dhaka in an attempt to find her lost father, only to find herself among the millions of new climate refugees. Forced to grow up quickly, Afrin faces the mysteries of a sinking world, where her dreams merge with reality.
