Kimya (Swahili for »silence«) is a story about the first moment of silence in the life of Josephine. Josie is growing up in a house where the doors are never locked. Everybody is always welcome in her mother’s home. She doesn’t feel like she’s part of the family because she doesn’t like noise or people that much.
When Josie finds herself at home on her own for the first time, she sets out on a journey of discovery – through the kitchen, bathroom, bedroom. She thinks it could be the best day of her life. But soon she realises that being at home alone might be just a bit too quiet.
