Ten-year-old Nicolas lives with his mother on a remote island, in a village inhabited solely by women and young boys. In a hospital overlooking the tempestuous ocean, the boys are all subjected to regular medical treatments — or, perhaps, some mysterious experiment. Only Nicolas questions what is happening around him. He senses that his mother is lying to him, and is determined to find out what she does with the other women at night, on the beach. What he discovers is the beginning of a nightmare into which he is helplessly drawn. Influenced by Herbert George Wells' The Island of Doctor Moreau, this mesmerising blend of aquatic body horror and surreal fantasy approaches the concept of evolution from a truly unique perspective.
