Set against the backdrop of an unfinished two-storey cement house, where the haunting hum of warplanes is a constant part of the local soundscape, the film unfolds the story of an eleven-year-old boy and his uncle, a man in his sixties. Within the layers and hidden corners of the unfinished house, the boy experiments with his ability to control things with his mind, despite his guardian’s repeated attempts to mould him into societal norms and suppress what makes him different. The uncle refuses to confront the reality that the boy’s abilities defy self-control, and that the punishments meant to render him “normal” only escalate the tension. At night, annoyed in his sleep by the intrusive sound of the passing warplanes, the boy accidentally causes them to crash.
