The story centers on Jacoba, an elderly woman who refuses to leave her home as the Land van Maas en Waal faces imminent flooding. While the villagers evacuate, Jacoba remains, filled with a longing for death, and passes her time by listening to radio alerts, reading the Bible, and praying. Her solitude is disrupted by the arrival of her granddaughter, Fleur, who is determined to stay with her, challenging Jacoba's intentions.
