Kiki is a young boy, growing up in Cuba in a house by the sea.
He lives with his uncle and grandmother ever since his father sailed off across the ocean in search of a new life.

He is amazed to encounter her the next day on a nearby beach, the same beach his father sailed off from.
She leaves him a mysterious gift of colorful stones that give him newfound hope to be reunited with his father.
