Eine Erzählung, die aus den Meerestiefen aufsteigt und bis in die Weite des Alls reicht. Eingefangene Momente aus der ganzen Welt. Streng getrennt und doch verwoben durch den Text, der Erinnerungen an Sehnsucht, an Frieden und Krieg, an Liebe und Abschied beschwört. Ein Blick auf globale, grenzüberschreitende Menschheitsthemen und eine Reise zu den Orten des Ankommens.
