20世纪60年代，一名才华横溢的女匠人在印尼丁香烟产业中挑战传统，并展开了她的爱情和自我发现之旅。

A small island is inhabited by members of the Bajo tribe, a nomadic fishing community of the Wakatobi Islands. After her father is lost at sea, twelve-year-old Pakis keeps treasuring the mirror he gave her, hoping that (according to Bajo belief) he will return and appear reflected in it. Then a young man comes into her life, threatening conflict between Pakis and her mother.
