It explores the nature of good and evil through the journey of Obil, a character rooted in biblical times, who grapples with his identity and the complexities of divine love. The story follows Obil, a camel keeper with a turbulent past, who faces internal struggles as he navigates the challenges of loss, vengeance, and the quest for grace. After the tragic death of his wife, Miriam, and their son’s subsequent misfortunes, Obil is consumed by hatred towards God.
