"Events with great consequences can arise from insignificant incidents," wrote Titus Livius.
Eleven independent stories of the inhabitants of an island in the Pacific that touches the 180th meridian shape the image of life on the island, where the rule of the "Shark" - as the residents call the dictator-Governor who has been in power for forty-three years - keeps democracy chained.
One day, the Governor decides to shift the time zone to which the island belongs and cross the International Date Line. An entire twenty-four hours must be erased from their lives, which causes unexpected repercussions.
