According to an ancient legend of the Miskitos, native people who live in the shores of Nicaragua, a person who dies at the sea was touched by a mermaid. A diver drowns. When he is being buried, his soul gets the shape of a turtle. The turtle is captured and eaten by a woman. Sometime later, she gives birth to Sinbad, a boy who will become a diver when he grows up. In this mixture of documentary, fiction, essay and animation, an ancient legend about life and death goes together with a portrait of the harsh life conditions of people who get their living from the sea in this part of the Caribbean.
