Ivan goes to live with his father Vicente, the stationmaster of a small town in rural Portugal. Gloria lives in the same town, sharing a home with Teresa, the head of a house for emigrants' children, located next to the station. The young woman likes to isolate herself in her private world or to spend her time playing and joking with Ivan. Gloria is also strangely attracted to the violent and menacing Mauro, who has recently been released from prison, where he had been serving time for having burned the house of his brother Vicente. Gloria knows that there is only one safe place in which to hide from all this, a small dark point hidden in the water of the river that flows past the town.
