Jean, a brave explorer, embarks on a perilous journey through a flooded fenland, driven by a quest to uncover a lost village and a hillside church that exist only in the fading memories of a world before it was ravaged by rising sea levels, deserts, and floods. In her search, she uncovers a time capsule buried over 160 years ago, a symbol of hope for a different future.
Meanwhile, in 1958, Ida, a young woman growing up in a dull and weary post-War London, finds herself questioning the beliefs of her mother and her Uncle Roy. Seeking a more fulfilling life, she becomes entangled in the world of political activism, jazz clubs, and a life on the fringes of conformist society. These unconventional spaces offer a multitude of questions, but no definitive answers.
Despite their geographical separation and the drastic changes brought about by climate shifts, the lives of Jean and Ida begin to intertwine. As Jean closes in on the location of the time capsule, Ida prepares to participate in the first Ban the Bomb march, a rally to the nuclear weapons research center at Aldermaston. Their paths collide in a dramatic climax that will shape their destinies forever.
Through their journeys, Jean and Ida come to realize that their stories are interconnected and that their actions can have a profound impact on the world around them. They learn to embrace their individuality and to stand up for what they believe in, even in the face of adversity. Their experiences inspire others to join their cause, and together, they work towards a brighter and more peaceful future.
