Overview

Riad Abd Rabbo is a philosophy teacher who collides with the materialistic, utilitarian reality that is completely different from the values he has learnt and teaches his students, such as truth, goodness and beauty, and when he fails to fix what is wrong around him, the philosophy of Al-Dardiri, an old thinker who those around him believe has lost his mind, is confirmed. Riad resorts to the same logic as El Dardiri, who died waiting for aliens to help him come up with solutions to save the world from possible and very near doom.
