In a strange and dictatorial world outside of time, young artist ABDO rebels against his elders and dares to seek freedom.
On the ruins of an industrial complex outside of time; SHAWKY (70) rules with a mix of performance and fear. His cohort JALALA (75) provides relief to the inhabitants of the enclave with stories of the Sea, which no-one else has seen. But Jalala’s grandson musician ABDO (19) is a rebel. He wants to explore what is out there for “real”. To this end he uses his musical abilities to devise an escape plan like no other. The winds of change may be blowing over the enclave but is all change really for the best?
