A short film inspired by Terrence Malick's The Tree of Life. A winter coast, a storm-grey sea and the people at its edge: silhouettes behind glass, flowers tied to a railing, a pier lit against the water, a child running from the waves. Built around the film's question — there are two ways through life, and you have to choose.

“There are two ways through life — the way of nature, and the way of grace.”
— After Terrence Malick's The Tree of Life
