The secret life of words
An accident has occurred on a remote oil platform, isolated in the high seas, where only men work. A solitary, enigmatic woman who is trying to run from her past arrives to take care of a man who has gone temporarily blind. A strange intimacy is born between them, full of secrets, truths, lies, humor and pain. None of them will walk away unscathed from a relationship that will leave an indelible mark on their lives forever.
