Synopsis : Sarah, in her forties, feels utterly drained by her nine-year-old son Simon and five-year-old Louis demanding all her attention, while her husband is frequently away on business trips. One day at the beach, Simon goes missing. After a frantic search, Sarah finds him wet and shaken, staring at the ocean. Once home, Simon behaves oddly, spending hours in the bath and seeking water whenever he can. Worried, Sarah encourages him to share what’s troubling him. Eventually, Simon reveals his secret that when he's submerged in water, he can hear voices from outer space.
