Ginevra is a haughty, unpleasant and spoiled woman. She has done nothing in life except order servants around and go shopping. She was off the coast of Japan on March 11, 2011 when she was overwhelmed by a frightening tsunami; she gets tangled in a rope from the tender and manages to save herself. The shipwreck will last a few months and Ginevra will try to survive in every way. She will experience hunger, she will come into contact with her most primordial instincts, she will review her existence from a new point of view that will lead her towards a profound process of transformation. There are no sharks or attempts to light a fire by rubbing sticks, nor are there any heroes; Ginevra will have to deal with loneliness, with her body, with her past and she will remain attached to life in such a powerful way that even adverse destiny, at times, seems to give up.
