Somewhere forgotten. A girl works hard to bring water back home, taking care of the house and her sick mother. Water plays a metaphoric role in this short film. Being an essential part of day to day life, it is not to be taken for granted and is a hard job to get. Water, the basic elixir of life suddenly turns into a threat.
