When a boatload of French prostitutes is shipwrecked off the coast of German occupied Jersey, their bodies are left to drift on the tide for days, their long peroxide hair floating out on the waves: This tragic image is the starting point for a powerful, poetic sound-scape, a requiem to the forgotten victims of the second world war.
