Synopsis

In the midst of a devastating, millennia-long war, young Spanish officers Alejandro de Yepes and Jesús Rocamora find themselves isolated at Castillo. Their solitary vigil is broken by the enigmatic Petrus, a friendly redhead who materializes out of nowhere, possessing an undeniable allure and an air of profound mystery. Drawn in by his magnetic presence, the two soldiers abandon their post, crossing a hidden bridge that only Petrus can perceive, and are transported to a world beyond human comprehension. This ethereal realm is a tapestry woven with lingering fog, strange beings, enchanting music, and breathtaking natural wonders, a place where the very fate of existence is determined. Yet, even this utopian land faces its own existential threat: a climactic battle against the forces of 'disenchantment' is underway. As poetry and beauty contend with darkness and death, Alejandro and Jesús are thrust into a pivotal role, questioning whether imagination and harmony can prevail against the encroaching shadow and defining their place in this epic cosmic struggle.
