Two figures stand at the core of the plot, each burdened by specific psychological afflictions resulting from the surrounding reality. Following her captivity by occupying forces, Scheherazade endures severe trauma that prevents her from standing. Concurrently, a resident of the capital known as Nuas possesses an unusual perception that reveals the exact date of expiration for every individual crossing his path. Their paths merge against a backdrop defined by conflict and occupation.
