Synopsis

In the walled city of Sumer, the inhabitants have not seen the horizon in over two thousand years — the Great Wall, built by unknown creators, seals them in a world of safety, tradition, and stagnation.

Mithila, a singer and member of the Tarafians, leads a small group of young rebels who believe that the Wall is not a protection but a prison.

As they navigate the city's rigid social strata, its powerful religious and political factions, and the growing desperation of those living in its shadow, Mithila's quest to breach the Wall becomes a meditation on freedom, the cost of security, and the courage required to question a truth that has never been questioned before.
