A woman travels alone, through a destroyed and abandoned city. She wants to pass the Forbiden Zone and get to the Sea... Deceptive traps lurk everywhere. The Morning Patrol is guarding and they are on her trail. Electronic voices warn the nonexistent citizens to desert the city... Yet he is one of the men who guard this city now... Having a fractured memory in common, they will come close to one another. Together, they will try to recall the past and make some sense out this catastrophe. A story of love in an unbearable world, surrounded by violence and death... What point can it have?
