BLURB (a short synopsis)
In a fractured heaven, divine witnesses confront the unbearable cost of human free will. As suffering on Earth intensifies, they debate intervention versus restraint, each pushed toward emotional and spiritual breaking points. Through movement, silence, and confrontation, they must choose to remain and feel everything, or turn away and preserve themselves, redefining the meaning of love, faith, and responsibility.
