An intrepid solo yachtswoman has capsized at sea. Under water in the air bubble of her upturned yacht she faces death. In her thoughts and dreams, in her fantasies and fears we live through the nightmare with her.

Jenni Roditi uses a vivid and passionate vocal style to portray this story in song. The score also features Gilles Petit on his self-invented instrument the Cosmic Scorpian.
