A teenager inadvertently witnesses the death of a neighbor, but is run over by a car as he tries to escape from the killer. Twenty-five years later, a nurse (played by Ugarte) finds that the effects of a storm miraculously enables her to communicate with the boy through television, and her warnings to the boy about the impending danger he is in spark an unexpected chain of events.
One interesting fact about the film is that the inspiration for the movie came from Paulo's personal life. Speaking at a Beijing hotel, the director candidly recalls how he fell in love with his partner five years ago.
"She asked me for a child and I said 'OK, but we should talk about this because it's an important step'. So we had a huge discussion," says Paulo, who is visiting the Chinese capital for the third time.
"When I woke up the next day, the world seemed completely strange to me and I was thinking that I didn't really know the person who was with me ... It was so weird. My head felt like it was going to explode but I knew there could be a story in it," he says.
