Provoost tells the story of the Flood from the point of view of Re-Jana, a daughter of the marshes, who with her family find themselves drawn into the construction of the Ark. Re-Jana is doubly involved since she has fallen in love with the youngest son, Ham. This is an engrossing take on a familiar story featuring real characters facing real challenges. There is noise, stench, claustrophobia, agony. And a 'happy' ending? Decide for yourself.
