Story

A momentary lapse of judgement leads to the death of Juan's three-year-old son. A few days after his death, Juan, overcome with guilt, takes his kayak into the open sea. There he sees a bottle floating in the nearby waves. As he picks it up, he notices a rope is tied to its neck. Juan pulls at the rope, and it unexpectedly pulls back. As he pulls harder and harder, the rope gives way to a long strip of seaweed, which itself is tied to a large bundle covered in weeds. Juan tears the bundle open and is shocked to discover that hidden inside is his son. Not knowing what else to do, he heads to an uninhabited island nearby and hides him in a cave. Juan is convinced that God is behind the miracle. But soon he learns that the only way to keep his son alive is to offer up his own blood.
