    Brief synopsis

    It's summer in a small southeastern Spanish village. A storm threatens to cause the river that runs through it to overflow again. An old popular belief assures that some women are predestined to disappear with each new flood, because they have “the water in them”. A group of young people try to survive the weariness of summer, they smoke, dance, desire each other. In this electric atmosphere, Ana and José live a love story, until the storm bursts.
