Synopsis:
Kino and Hermes arrive at a strikingly modern nation, a departure from their previous travels. The landscape presents a curious dichotomy: fertile farmland bordering desolate, decaying structures devoid of inhabitants. The nation’s population is concentrated within a city nestled inside a mountain, shielded by an artificial sky. This technologically advanced urban center prioritizes health above all else, enforcing stringent hygiene and wellness practices on its citizens.
Despite the apparent prosperity and cleanliness, Kino detects an unsettling undercurrent. A faint, unusual odor permeates the air, and the absence of birds creates a disquieting stillness. The carefully constructed perfection feels artificial, hinting at concealed realities beneath the surface. The story explores themes of societal control, environmental manipulation, and the potential consequences of pursuing an idealized existence, inviting viewers to question appearances and consider the true cost of a perfectly ordered world.
