On a winter's day, a woman stretches near a window then sits in a bathtub of water. She's happy. Her lover is nearby; there are close ups of her face, her pregnant belly, and his hands caressing her. She gives birth: we see the crowning of the baby's head, then the birth itself; we watch a pair of hands tie off and cut the umbilical cord. With the help of the attending hands, the mother expels the placenta. The infant, a baby girl, nurses. We return from time to time to the bath scene. By the end, dad's excited; mother and daughter rest.

Es la noche de Año Nuevo en Valparaíso. Todos los barcos y calles centrales están especialmente iluminados. Pero en los cerros que circundan el centro de la estrecha ciudad hay pobreza para sus habitantes. Ellos viven trasladándose en viejos ascensores o remitiéndose a subir y bajar interminables escaleras, transportando el agua. Mientras tanto, los ricos se divierten, ignorándolos. Se narra la historia de Valparaíso, "el valle del paraíso", lugar alguna vez dominado por conquistadores y piratas que también enfrenta a los elementos naturales: el mar, el sol, el viento y el fuego.

We move back and forth between scenes of a family at home and thoughts about the stars and creation. Children hold chickens while an adult clips their wings; we see a forest; a narrator talks about stars and light and eternity. A dog joins the hens and the family, while the narrator explains the heavens. We see a bee up close. The narrator suggests metaphors for heavenly bodies. Scenes fade into a black screen or dim purple; close-ups of family life may be blurry. The words about the heavens, such as "The stars are a flock of hummingbirds," contrast with images and sounds of real children.

A young family leaves their home on Kauai. It is time to return to the itinerant path from which all things in their uncommon lives come; beginning and ending on a remote dot in the Pacific. They nomadically trace continents to places where waves meet their edges, envoys of aloha. It is what they will learn, what they bring others, what they will pass on to their children in the hyper-expanded classroom, the lab of direct being; a legacy passed from a father to his family.
