Darwin, a young man living in a small cement module, relies entirely on his computer for daily life. Verbal communication has become obsolete, and he communicates with his mother only through instant messages. Fearful of the outside world, believed to be contaminated, Darwin remains isolated. However, one stormy night, lightning strikes his module, destroying his computer. Forced to leave his confined space, he ventures into the vast, unknown landscape.
To his astonishment, Darwin encounters Dara, a young woman living with her family in a woodland cottage. They reintroduce him to spoken language and the profound value of human interaction. Inspired by this newfound life, Darwin feels compelled to share this revelation with his mother, who remains trapped in her own isolated existence. But will he reach her in time?
