]]>Inspired by her own true story, Gilda's diary Terra recounts the suffering caused by illness and an almost miraculous rebirth. After being diagnosed with terminal cancer, she must find the strength within herself to survive. Alongside conventional treatment, she embarks on a path to healing: she practices meditation, lives in close contact with nature, and revisits and reworks her past through her travel diaries. Over time, she learns to let the pain wash over her, to recognise it as necessary; and at the same time, she must first fall apart if she is to put herself back together again.
"When I was first diagnosed, I was told I might have two months. It has now been five years."
"I am surrounded by love. For me, that is enough. More than enough. It is beautiful."
"Crying is important, of course. But sometimes you can also turn something into a laugh. It is good for the heart."

• Coffee originated in Ethiopia and spread to other regions like Indonesia, India, and Brazil. There are two main varieties of commercially grown coffee - robusta and arabica, with arabica being the higher quality.
• The coffee industry has seen a cultural revival in recent decades, with the rise of coffee shop chains like Starbucks making coffee a more sophisticated and social drink.
• Tea has a much longer history, with origins in China thousands of years ago. It is deeply ingrained in the cultures of countries like China, India, and the UK, where it is a popular daily beverage.
• The tea industry faces challenges similar to coffee, with a divide between mass-market, low-quality tea and the speciality, high-quality tea market. Factors like climate change and an ageing workforce are also impacting tea production.
