The light of war

It is the year 1945 in London, which still suffers from the aftermath of the war, where Nathaniel, 14 years old, and his older sister Rachel live in isolation from their parents, who left them in the custody of a charismatic man called (Al-‘Uthah), who harbors doubts about him and has a long criminal history. All of this becomes insignificant in light of the emergence of his companions around them: men and women who share a secret history, determined to protect them and teach them in strange ways according to their unusual experiments, away from their hidden parents. And after twelve years, Nathaniel rethinks that period of his life, realizing things his young mind was not able to comprehend, and whether his teachers truly were what they claimed to be. After a certain age, those who made us heroes stop teaching or guiding us. Instead, they choose to protect the last land they find themselves in. Bold ideas are replaced by needs that are almost hidden. Those who mocked traditions they fought against and laughed, now only offer laughter and no more mockery.
