In the vibrant yet politically charged landscape of 1960s Sri Lanka, a young boy named Triton is sent to live with the enigmatic marine biologist, Mister Salgado. Under the tutelage of the household staff, Triton discovers a passion for cooking, finding solace and purpose in the culinary arts. As he navigates his new life and hones his skills, he becomes entangled in the complex love affair of his master, a relationship that mirrors the delicate ecosystem of the coral reefs Mister Salgado studies. This coming-of-age story masterfully explores themes of identity, belonging, and the quiet dramas that unfold against a backdrop of impending civil unrest.
