In a world where propaganda reigns supreme, a man named John lives a mundane life with his son, Thomas. John is a patriotic citizen who believes in the ideals of his country and raises his son to follow in his footsteps. However, when John's wife dies at a young age, leaving him to raise Thomas alone, he becomes even more fervent in his beliefs. Thomas grows up with similar values and leads a similarly dull life. He goes to work every day, while his wife leaves him to explore her own desires. Eventually, Thomas dies alone, with only his son, Jack, at his funeral. Despite inheriting his father and grandfather's beliefs, Jack struggles to find meaning in his life. He follows the propaganda's teachings, goes to college, and finds a good job but remains single and childless. When Jack dies alone, no one notices for over two weeks, and no one attends his funeral. This story is a poignant drama that explores the consequences of blindly following propaganda and the impact it has on families across generations. It reveals the cyclical nature of life and how our choices can lead us down paths that ultimately leave us feeling empty and unfulfilled. With rich language and vivid details, readers will be taken on an emotional journey through the lives of these three men and the legacies they leave behind.
