In southern Louisiana, an island is slowly disappearing into the sea. For Howard and Juliette, two teenagers growing up on Isle de Jean Charles, this vanishing land isn’t just geography—it’s home.

Director Sandra Winther brings us close to the lives of these remarkable siblings. We see their laughter, their routines, and their dreams, even as storms and rising water reshape their landscape.
