In a large desert community that survived the collapse of a long forgotten world, one sacred ritual prompts a young man to start questioning the beliefs of his people and learn the truth about the Gods who destroyed the world of his ancestors.

Synopsis:

A large primitive community is struggling to survive in the barren wasteland on the outskirts of the mythical City of the Gods. The community is led by AMON, a fanatical priest who practices human sacrifice to appease the wrath of Gods and summon the promised messianic Children of the Gods. Young hunter AAKIL, although a believer, doubts the dogma ever since he saw his parents being sacrificed, leaving him to take care of his little brother ARI. One day the village children playing in the wastelands accidentally stumble upon a strange piece of technology – a metallic casket with a mysterious young WOMAN inside. Aakil brings her back to the village where she is treated reverently. She does not know who she is and remembers her past only in cryptic fragments. She remembers though that Amon’s sacred BRACELET, which can magically predict the movement of stellar bodies, once belonged to a man she presumes is her father. His last words to her: “The Children will never come.” When Ari gets chosen for the next sacrifice ritual, Aakil decides to steal Amon’s Bracelet, and with the help of the Woman find the Gods in order to save his brother’s life. They flee from the village with Amon’s guards on their trail.
