Fleeing the violence of her adoptive father, Darcy finds comfort in the natural world. Inside the hollow of a redwood tree, she dreams of roots. Years later, her yearning to belong leads her to El Salvador, searching for children forcibly disappeared in the civil war, and to an unexpected reckoning in the Sonoran Desert. The film unfolds as an intimate memory portrait, combining expressively painted scenes with animated archival documents.
