What is life to those who have lost everything?Swallowed by darkness, we search for a fleeting light, hoping to reach... where?Bound by this search, two brothers - Kidan and young Iddin - step into a world of diverse realms. Vagabonds with no home, their road winding through vast, unknown worlds, each mired in its own unique sorrow, ancient conflicts, and cruelty.From realms veiling unquestioned traditions to realms drunk on cold apathy, they witness human suffering and excellence. Fearful, yet woven in hope, they endure a path rooted in the ultimate paradoxes of existence: Love; Hate. Pain; Pleasure. Faith; Certainty. Brokenness; Healing. They march through the unknown, hoping to find who they are - and why they are.
