Description
It's been almost fifty years since the sea smashed through Lydia's grandmother's front door, sweeping away her family. This traumatic event has left its mark, and Lydia still carries the secret of that night with her.
As she tries to live with her past, Lydia finds solace in her art, creating pieces from flotsam and photographs of clouds and waves. But when a series of special objects wash up on her remote beach-hut studio's shore, she's forced to confront the truth about her role in a pioneering performance piece called Taking In Water.
As Lydia is drawn back into the past, she must decide whether to reveal her secrets or continue hiding. With the future of her home threatened by coastal surveyors, she's faced with an impossible choice: should she risk everything to tell her story, or keep on hiding?
