During a holiday, Charlie invites his friends for a weekend getaway at his family’s beach house in Caruao, Venezuela. Already on the first night, an unexpected triangle causes tension within the group. This has an impact on the rest of the weekend. Sultry coming-of-age drama in which youthfulness, friendship, curiosity and freedom are extensively celebrated. Relationships are damaged, against the background of a paradisaical place where anything seems possible.

A reflection on the predicament of confinement within the domestic environment, stemming from found correspondence of a woman, dating between 1975 and 1980. Through shared points of reference and the embodiment of the above-mentioned state, the process of this work became an intergenerational dialogue with the stranger character. However, in Arrival, the narrative departs from the archived and imagines rather than a state of paralysis, the discontinuation of a cycle. Upon the character’s decision to leave her home and embark on a journey to an archipelago nearby, the island of her destination sucks her in as she merges into the wind.
