Having survived deadly forces of nature and the folly of men, Tali Nohkati and his people find a haven of peace with the tribe of Coruba the elder.
Through the telling of legends and to the rhythm of hunts and great fishing, their lives pass by serenely until the day when the long dormant volcano wakes up.

The name of the miracle is Chepi. With her, the only child who survived, so small and so frail, they flee in a makeshift boat to reach the edge of the land of the Red Earth that Tali once knew. However, this wild and ruthless land is not welcoming to men.
