A young woman lives, hidden in plain sight in a ruined Hong Kong building after a tsunami destroyed the city – A castaway on a concrete island. Her concealed existence is changed forever when a small child literally floats into her life.

Two men, fortyish, worn out by their wives, abandon everything to go and live in the back of beyond. There they meet a truculent priest, a boozer, Émile who recalls them to life’s simple pleasures. Calm is what they want. But soon their example inspires thousands of disorientated males, fleeing the feminist 1970s. Soon, too, there arrives a squadron of nymphomaniac Amazons.
