Kesuma wakes up in a deserted island, he was wrecked by the waves and tsunami, castaway he strolls around the island until he finally finds a cave on the coast where he can hide, hoping for the eruption to finish. he prepares himself for the ultimate sacrifice. Nothing can prepare him nor the spectator for what is coming.
