17-year-old Isabel is attracted to the president of the golf club where she works. As she begins to understand the powerful classism lurking beneath the club's immaculate surfaces, she realises that her infatuation is rooted in a sinister shared past. A deeply symbolic piece with compelling visuals, an allegory where the sociopolitical realities spread as gently and uncontainably as the water from the sprinklers on a golf course.
