The story so far
Everything you need before watchingLuca has just ducked under a rock to hide from a passing boat. Now he is late for lunch, and his mother already knows something is off. Around the table, Grandma talks about the old days when boats had no motors, Dad brags about beating someone at cards in the land-monster town, and Luca cannot stop wondering where those boats come from. One mention of the surface, and his mother shuts the whole conversation down. The family is warm. The rule is not.
