The novel is set in a hot, deserted Bologna in an uncertain future, following the 'Guasto', an event that changed the course of things forever. Against this backdrop, a mysterious disease spreads while the city's waters remain still — a metaphor for humanity, suspended between truth and lies. Mara, who is unwell, is at the centre of a network of characters, including Elijah, Rita, Reba, Rui, and the enigmatic Regina Lipschutz. Linked by their search for meaning through reading water, these individuals unite in their resistance to entropy, exploring the city and the inner dimension of existence both physically and metaphorically. It is a symbolic journey towards the dawn of a new tomorrow.
