Synopsis
Chloe lives in the bunker, Trident Rock, with her father and the other lucky few who were proviliged and wealthy enough to secure a place in safety when war and global environmental catastrophes hit. In many ways, Chloe lives a normal teenage life. She goes to school, does her homework and goes to the cinema with her best friend, Millie. She does not want for anything - except of course for the world outside, which may be gone forever.
One day, Chloe discovers a fly. A fly is life! But neither Chloe's father, nor Millie, are interested in hearing about it. Only when Chloe meets Theo, does she realise that she is not alone with her thoughts.
Is the life they lead, far below the ground, actually a real life? And can the price for survival perhaps become too big?
Shortlisted for the Danish Cultural Ministry's Children's Book Writer of the Year 2024 Award.
