Story
On a quiet night in an unnamed city, a young woman follows a solitary man through empty streets, alleyways, and gardens, her pursuit guided by a poetic farewell letter about dreams, departures, and the strange nature of cities. The chase leads to a hidden bar inside a seemingly abandoned building, where music, warmth, and mysterious strangers await. There, the woman confronts the man she has been searching for and asks him to guide her through the city’s unseen layers—places where reality and imagination blur. As eccentric musicians join their encounter, the night unfolds like a dream, raising the question of whether the city itself is real or only imagined.
