In a world where day and night are regulated by an artificial sun, M1DC is one worker among thousands, condemned to the mechanics of daily life and the cult of an immaculate past. For four hundred and fifty-six years, humanity has survived obediently under the Dome, lulled by promises of Peace and Equality bequeathed by the Grand Master Furmundos. But M1DC is not like the others. He secretly reads stolen books. He asks forbidden questions: Who truly won the Great War? What do the "angels"-those guardians in white robes-hide? And above all, what lies beyond the glass sky? When a simple breakdown reveals a crack in the wall of his reality, M1DC discovers forgotten frescoes. Forbidden colors. A sky... that is blue. What begins as a quest for historical truth rapidly becomes a struggle for the survival of thought. The angel Faust is already there, ready to test the clandestine poetry and the faith of one who, like a modern Sisyphus, refuses to push his stone without ever questioning the mountain. The time of submission is over. The time of philosophy begins.
