A darkly comedic yet deeply melancholic journey through a fairytale city, where sharp wit clashes with profound guilt. It feels like a grim fable, exploring morality and the weight of past actions through unexpected humor and poignant character dynamics, all set against a beautiful, almost surreal backdrop.
