Synopsis

Gifted with supernatural abilities and hypersensitive to the accompanying phenomena, Lucia numbs herself with just about anything to find peace and quiet, sweeping through the lives of her friends and family like a hurricane. After yet another night of partying, Lucia wakes up in a hospital and suddenly everything is different: what she encounters there gives her hope and takes her to the countryside, where her sister is building a retreat for meditation and self awareness together with her husband. There, in the mist of nowhere, Lucia has to confront the ghosts of her past in order to come home and find a family. The story of a quest.
