The villagers are behaving strangely. They whisper about a “song” in the tide. Some speak in unison. At dusk, everyone goes inside and locks their doors. No one explains why. The town is now trapped

The tide is not gone. It is sleeping. And it has chosen its new keeper. A wide shot of the village at sunrise. The sea is blue again. Children are laughing. But beneath the dock, in the shadows, a single strand of red algae moves against the current – toward the camera.
Valeria meets young fisherman DIEGO (20s, curious, unafraid) and his abuela, ELENA (70s, fierce, keeper of old stories). Elena warns: “The red tide is not a bloom. It is a memory. A long time ago, the town let a ship sink. They left people inside to drown. The sea has not forgotten their screams.”
