At an airport on another side of the world, Hamlet receives news that his father, a high
government official, is dead. When he returns home, his mother is already getting ready to
remarry. But to whom? What is going on? And what is actually hiding behind the mystical case
of his father’s death?
Hamlet’s world is falling apart. He enters the chaotic world where ghosts and wraths in his head
are his best friends. He no longer has a father, and if he does not do something soon, he will
lose his mother, too.
