Logline: When at a riverside house with her father (who is also her violin mentor), 15 year old Magritte meets a mysterious young man, half naked, sitting by the water and playing violin at dawn. Feeling disconnected from her father she befriends the young man. Slowly but surely a plot to rid Magritte of her father begins to unravel.

Synopsis: Upon her arrival at the house Magritte notices a violin bow, washed ashore by the riverbed. She takes it but when she looks a second time all she holds in her hand is seaweed. Her hand has a few blisters where she just held the bow. They hurt. Looking out over the river Magritte wonders at the mystery waiting to emerge from the steady stream of water.

Later during the day, after she and her father have settled in, we see Magritte practicing violin in a studio-like-room in the house. Suddenly, through an open window, Magritte seems to hear something. The sounds of another violin? Although squeaky and off-tune, the sound is beautiful. It abruptly stop when her father enters, accusing her of putting off practice. He reminds her of why they came here: so she could prepare for her upcoming competition without distractions. When Magritte continues to rehearse with her father we get a glimpse at the harsh mentor - student relationship they have. Practicing hurts due to the blisters on her hand.

In the evening Magritte goes back to the water, sneaking out of the house and seeking solitude. When approaching the river the same squeaky but yet beautiful violin sounds from before begin to be audible. Looking towards the river she sees the silhouette of a half naked man playing violin. The only thing covering him is a dirty bleached sheet between his thighs. As Magritte slowly steps closer, the man stops playing and looks at her. His look is understanding, warm and polite. While he smiles kindly, his bent over body posture is foreboding. Magritte smiles back.

Back in the house, at night, Magritte takes a shower and we subtly see seaweed being washed from her body, going down the drain. Her look is one of awe, confusion and joy.

The next morning she seems absent during breakfast, looking past her father, out through the window towards the river. When her father speaks his voice sounds muffled, Magritte's mind is elsewhere. Out of focus we see Magritte‘s father get up, go over to her and grab her by the arm, pulling her up from her chair.

Once more Magritte practices her piece, her father sitting in the studio corner with an agitated look. Magritte looks towards him defiantly, anger in her eyes. When she starts playing reluctantly we feel something is off. Although she tries to keep her hand steady it starts shaking. Then she bends over, and vomits. Small pebbles, seaweed and sand.

That night Magritte‘s father cares for her lovingly, serving her medicine and hot tea as she lies on the living room couch. However Magritte‘s thoughts still seem to be elsewhere, as if she’s waiting. When her father leaves for bed she takes out her violin and goes out onto the houses porch. There she starts playing, first beautifully. Nothing happens. She tries again. This time she plays squeaky and off-tune. Shaky sounds. Her playing echoes through the night, as if calling out to the river. We cut to a visual montage of the house, the water and Magritte.

When she goes back inside Magritte leaves the door open. Soon after the man from the river enters, leaving wet footsteps behind.

The films final scene ends with an image of seaweed footprints, leading away from the fathers bedroom where we head painful sounds. In the end we see Magritte in the living room, dancing arm in arm with the young water-man, water dripping from them. A distorted but beautiful violin tune playing for them form somewhere.
