On the planet Lusitania, an intricate web of life unfolds as three distinct sentient beings coexist. Among them are the Pequeninos, an enigmatic species grappling with their origins and purpose, alongside humans who have established a thriving colony. The dynamics between these groups grow increasingly complex, particularly with the presence of the Hive Mind—a collective consciousness that challenges individual identities and communal bonds.
As tensions rise, the fate of Lusitania hangs in the balance, urging characters to confront their deepest fears and desires. Themes of connection, empathy, and the quest for understanding play out against a backdrop of interspecies conflict, showcasing the struggles of adapting to change while striving for harmony. Through profound personal journeys, knowledge is gained, and sacrifices are made, all leading to an exploration of what it truly means to be alive.
