Synopsis

A woman sits against a stark backdrop, recounting her experiences of violence and trauma before and after her imprisonment. As she speaks, she plays tarot cards, using them as a medium to convey her thoughts on humanity and the state of the world. Her narrative intertwines with the imagery around her, reflecting the layers of violence she has faced. She ominously states, "If the sky falls on our heads, that's where we shall live," hinting at a bleak future.
