Volcano is an intimate story of marriage. After an unsuccessful attempt to go on holiday, he and she shut themselves away at their beautiful home. They decide that the holiday is going to be just the two of them. To really relax, they are not going to be using phones, laptops or watching television or listening to the radio. When they deprive themselves of contact with the world and other people, it turns out that they are strangers to each other and that their marriage is just pretence.
