Synopsis
This is the story of a father and a son who do not know each other. They feel a deep annoyance towards each other, always divided by their differences.

The father would have wanted a son who resembled him; pragmatic, efficient, and unscrupulous, always seeking personal success, just like him. Instead, he ended up with a dreamy, vacuous son who is incapable of achieving anything.

On the other hand, the son would have wanted a father who did not rigidly embody the parental figure, but who was without prejudices towards him, and who had a broader and more modern view of the world.

Two realities that do not understand each other. A father and a son who give themselves the opportunity to meet by deciding to take a journey together, hoping that this shared experience can break down the wall that divides them.

During their journey, an extraordinary event will occur that will lead them to change their worldview. Like new Robinson Crusoes, they find themselves shipwrecked on an unknown island, forced to cooperate and help each other to survive. They will discover that this island is not like any other. It is made of plastic, and everything they find in that place is not what it seems.

This will lead them to an encounter with a supernatural being who, through the universal language of music, will ask for their help to not perish.
