‘Ama, did you know Time was a monster?’
Amid the fractured boundaries of a distant world where time and space dance to an otherworldly tune, a mysterious man’s arrival on the Namibian coast shatters the fragile equilibrium of a sheltered realm.
Haunted by fragmented memories, the man speaks of a life left behind, of a world that once was.
With each revelation, the mystery deepens, and as destinies entwine, the truth of the man’s claim hangs in the balance – a truth that could reshape this wounded world or plunge it into everlasting chaos.
