THE STORY
What if you could cross centuries and, for the span of a story, feel as though you were truly there?
At the edge of an ancient African world, a civilization begins to fracture. Zoba, a priest and survivor of conquest, joins forces with Kengi, a young woman who becomes a figure of resistance. Around them, a world is collapsing, yet men and women continue to love, fight, believe, and search for their place within it.
Centuries later, Louis, a young African student, leaves his homeland for France, unaware that his own journey is connected to this forgotten history. Gradually, three lives separated by time begin to echo one another.
A story of memory, identity, exile, and the invisible ties that survive across generations.
