Helping to research her lover's film on the great plague, Andrea returns to Provence. Traveling with Mandia, a fellow South African and Black activist, helps Andrea put into perspective the more hedonistic elements of her new life. As the story unfolds in a landscape evoked with breathtaking mastery, Andrea and Mandia confront the uneasy relationships that develop between themselves and their lovers. Their difficulties form an allegory for those faced by two disparate continents, as they undertake the process of reconciling Europe's past and Africa's present.
