In this short film, in search of a cinematic grammar more in tune with Creole imaginary and oral tradition, we follow Ondine's quest. She returns to La Réunion after an absence of four years, because her Pépé, a local zarboutan, is dying. Just as she has to say goodbye, Ondine has a strange encounter in a pond.
