A long tracking shot over the island Funafuti in Tuvalu, Archipelago, connects rhythmically diverse times and conditions of the island with one another. In beautiful composition and in a contradictory way, a catastrophe is announced: the imminent loss of the country. The portrait of the island captures both conditions; the land, as well as the water which will swallow it. Consecutively, and through its rhythm, the film succeeds in creating the simultaneity of the situations.
