In addition to the voices that Amiram hears in his head, the voices of the public figure, the equipment man, the portrait photographer and the baby leaves are also heard, looking at what is happening from different points on the timeline.
Through the plethora of voices, new connections are formed to decipher the ever-growing horror, a horror that has happened in the recent past as it is just around the corner.
