Synopsis
Two
anthropophobic women are struggling to write novels. Adongo lives in East
Africa in the near future while Apio lives in a space city in the distant future.
They look so alike that one has to be the other’s doppelganger. Both are
hermits, estranged from their respective families, and are suffering from loneliness.
When the boundary between their worlds collapses, they discover that each is
the protagonist in the novel the other is writing. Each believes she is real
and the other a fabrication, yet their histories indicate that they might be
identical twins, and that one murdered the other. As they struggle to understand
the nature of their existence, they fail to tell reality from fantasy, the past
from the present, and they have to solve the murder each committed in her childhood
to avoid a complete descent into madness.
