A group of seven children, obliged to live based on the codes of KANUN, meet and discuss the story of Abel and Cain.

Stuck in the fine line between reality and forgetfulness, this is one of the few chances they have to face their traumas and their emotions. .



Alphonso wants to blow himself up. He's tried many times. Today he will not fail. But a winning lottery ticket disrupts his lonely routine.
