An elderly woman arrives, after a life of wandering, at an island off the coast of West Africa. No longer tied down, she seeks sensations and is open to everything, but her heart remains closed. The fate of the islanders confronts her with a foreign pain she cannot remedy and returns her to the intensity of life.
