The film treats motherhood and feral guardianship as adjacent forms of vigil, hovering at the threshold where the domestic gives way to the wild.

The film is performed by the Yakel tribe and follows a young woman whose desire collides with the elders' duty to protect the village's continuity through arranged marriage. Like Hosoda's mountain village, Tanna treats the rainforest as a co-parent whose customs both shelter and constrain those raised within its rhythms.

On a sand-drifting island, a community of short-lived psychics is raised by elders who know the cost of their gift, treating each child's brief life as a sacred custodianship.
