Poppies

A century of secrets, three loves scarred by war, and an island that refuses to forget: the Island of the Monks.

In 1918, while the echo of the Great War still resonates through the Highlands, Admiral Sullivan and his loyal assistant Babar disembark on the untamed island of Inchconnachan. There, amidst the fresh waters of Loch Lomond, they build an exotic Indian-style cabin and ignite the light that will illuminate the darkness of the islands for years to come. It marks the beginning of a lineage of pioneers that will transform the landscape forever.

Spanning three generations, this saga traverses the most brutal and sublime moments of the 20th century. From the desolation of the Second World War, where fields of poppies become the only refuge for the memory of the fallen, to the challenges of the year 2017.

But a living secret dwells on Inchconnachan: a colony of wallabies that, brought from distant lands, struggle to survive. While men clash in battles of hate and ambition, these creatures become the symbol of a silent and fragile resistance against the cruelty of the ruthless.

Three loves that defied time. A land that survived history.
