A woman torn between the pain for her missing father and the anxiety for the child she is about to give birth to... A man searching for the meaning of life... A city whose gates hide ancient mysteries... Nights during which mysteries turn into miracles... A whisper coming from the depths of seven centuries... The fragrant breath of people who weigh love with love... A love that even death cannot erase... A love that resists time...
