Based on the author’s mémoirs, this is a wry fictional account of Margarida’s life. Born in Portuguese Moçambique, after independence she emigrates with her husband and children to South Africa. A freak encounter leads to an impossible love
affair and a powerful awakening. We capture her struggles, with those who supported or tried to crush her, including a controversial therapist. Through some uncanny synchronicity and extraordinary experiences, she encounters dormant facets
of her personality pushed into the dark recesses of her mind – carried inside, like a ‘Matruska’ doll. Based on historical facts, ‘Under a Swirling Sun’, highlights the quest for love and for freedom and draws attention to an ‘unexplained’ solar phenomena that took place in  Portugal in 1917. What are the consequences if we do not pay attention to the extraordinary?
