Plot Summary
Five strangers from various parts of the Iberian Peninsula experience an outbreak of seemingly unrelated supernatural phenomena that only later take on greater  significance. All are experiencing events they cannot logically explain : a flock of starlings follows José everywhere he goes, while Joana creates small fault lines with her walking stick; Joaquim not only raises an impossibly large stone with only his hands but also throws it out to sea ; while unraveling one sock, Maria discovers the thread has no end. Pedro’s – the fifth stranger – experience is the most significant, as he alone feels a bizarre tremor that eventually leads to the peninsula dislodging itself from the rest of the European continent. As the new island drifts away and a catastrophic disaster appears imminent, the five strangers seek an answer to all these puzzling events and are thus drawn together on their mutual quest for truth.
