Set in an unnamed African nation plagued by endless warfare and oppressive political rhetoric, a young man awaits the arrival of enigmatic crocodile-men who promise escape from tyranny. As he hides in a moonlit room, he narrates his experiences, revealing the absurdity and meaninglessness inflicted by an authoritarian regime that manipulates language. The narrative critiques the erosion of truth and the chaos of existence under such a government, blending elements of surrealism with a poignant exploration of hope and despair.
