Following a cataclysm that no seismograph has registered, a rift opens along the border between Spain and France: slowly but resolutely, the Iberian Peninsula floats off westwards across the Atlantic. A great stone raft. The North American powers look to acquire a whole new tract of land and population lost to Europe. Spaniards and Portuguese, leave their homes, escaping the looming perils of the coast, and go wandering the inland roads. Among the new vagrants, are three men, two women and a dog who meet by chance - or destiny - and take to the road in an elderly 2CV until they are obliged to settle for a wagon drawn by two ill-assorted horses. The humans pair off into couples, though even the odd-man-out will have his moment of intimacy. And as they pursue their tinkers' existence they discover in themselves unsuspected riddles, and their solutions.
