Daniel has been living with the artist Moira for three years now, on her native Island of Mozambique. They are awaiting the birth of their child, and at the same time organising the island's first literary festival. But as soon as the first festival guests arrive, the coast is hit by a cyclone. The island is spared, but the mainland sinks under rain and mud. The bridge to the mainland becomes impassable, and telephone and internet connections are down.
