German Hydromania







Hydromania

It is several decades into the future. The world is dry. It is effectively ruled by the water corporations from China, Japan and the Ukraine, who own most of the world's fresh water sources, and control its flow and distribution .
Maya is in search of her missing husband Ido, a maverick water engineer who invented Ji-Ji, a revolutionary system that enables people to collect and purify rain water for their own use.
As she slowly unravels the fate of her husband, Maya goes on a journey that takes her from Caesarea, the last remaining Israeli city, to the village of Harod - where she leads the locals to prepare for the expected rainfall.
Hydromania is a story of survival and empowerment in a future that is not-too-distant and in a reality that is easily imaginable.
