SYNOPSIS :
A GROUP OF SEVEN CHILDREN, OBLIGED TO LIVE BASED ON THE CODES OF KANUN, MEET AND DISCUSS THE STORY OF ABEL AND CAIN. BY CREATING THEIR OWN DREAM SPACE, PARTIALLY CONSCIOUSLY AND PARTIALLY NOT, THEY CREATE AN ANALOGY BETWEEN THEIR OWN STORIES AND THE BIBLICAL FABLES.
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.
