SYNOPSIS:
As a result of a cataclysm that no seismograph has been able to register, a wedge is driven between the border of Spain and France, and the Iberian Peninsula is drifting in the Atlantic Ocean. Now it is a real stone raft. The impact on the geopolitical scene is immense when North American powers see the possibility of acquiring the new tract of land that has broken away from Europe, together with its inhabitants. Only the Rock of Gibraltar remains in place. The Spanish and Portuguese, abruptly pulled out of their daily routine, leave their homes to escape the threatening dangers of the coast and are constantly roaming the roads of the interior. And they are still more disorientated when the raft begins to rotate on its axis so that the sun rises in what was the West. Previously, there were warning signs : a woman, Joana, draws a line on the floor of a forest clearing that will never be erased, Joaquim throws a stone, so heavy that no human could lift it, a huge distance, Jose is followed everywhere by a colossal cloud of starlings, Pedro, in a remote corner of Spain , can feel the earth vibrate and out of Maria´s hand there comes a long strand of yarn that stretches endlessly. Apparently, all these signs have one purpose: to bring all these characters together and make their encounter spark off love between them. They are also among the new wanderers, the three men, two women and a dog found by chance, or sent by fate .
