The year is 2045. The Earth is afflicted with gigantic catastrophes of every kind, ecological, social and economic. World leaders must act fast or man will be wiped off the face of the planet. A young Danish economist, Esther Andersen, specialist of renewable development, is given a mission: to imagine a plan for governing a new world and list the indispensible collective measures that must be taken to assure the survival of mankind. To accomplish this, she must travel the world, to those places most disrupted by catastrophe where highly qualified specialists of air, earth, water and fire are struggling to implement promising measures to fix the planet's problems. But those measures are isolated and inefficient. To survive, man must accept new rules, rethink every gesture. During her travels, Esther writes to her twelve year old daughter, Stella, revealing secrets about what she has learned, the meaning of her mission and how she is guided by commitment and love.
