Reda Al-Tawil's bend

Author's name: Alfat Atef

"After this day when I was at my weakest, most helpless, shattered, and humiliated, I knew that I would never be the same again. I knew that I would change, close myself off, cocoon myself, and fortify myself inside dozens of shields and protective walls, and I would remain behind them, weak and fragile, forever. I would lock my soul in a giant concrete building, a huge, deserted theater, and I would be alone in it, the actor, the audience, the walls, and the ceilings, and I would block all the exits from the inside."

To what extent can you sacrifice in order to adapt to your reality, with a family, lover, or city that is not like you? And will you remain the same person afterward, or will you be transformed into something else?
The story of two men from the same city and different times: one a grieving father trying to recover with stories after a painful loss, and the other a young man taller than the ceilings of his city, whose twin sister falls into a concrete pillar, changing his relationship with the city, the world, and himself forever.
