1492. Travelling among the crew captained by Christopher Columbus are two men who should have been dead by now. They have managed to avoid their sad fate by signing up for this uncertain voyage to the New World. But on reaching the Canary Islands, the men flee, taking one of the ship’s sails with them, and are pursued by the angry crew. Meanwhile, a woman tries to save her dying sister by taking her to a healer. The parallel journeys try to outwit death but both are at the mercy of time and history.
