Set within military and civilian spaces shaped by conflict, the narrative highlights how war penetrates every aspect of life, leaving lasting scars on both individuals and communities. The work emphasizes mental breakdown, helplessness, and emotional numbness, portraying soldiers as victims of systems that demand obedience while stripping away compassion and dignity.
