Rain. Silence. And everlasting clouds. A colorless world under a gray sky, with gigantic pillars, the so-called world pillars, jutting out of the land, only to disappear within the unmoving masses above. Here, life is unbearable for those who ask too many questions. This is especially true for Salome, who is naturally curious and already had to endure numerous bad experiences because of it. When one day the withdrawn girl meets a strange boy whose words challenge her entire worldview, she makes a decision that will change her life forever. For the world pillars, he claims, harbor a great secret. This is the beginning of a journey. In time, Salome will come to understand that there is far more to this world – to this life – than she could have ever imagined.
