This haunting, deeply imaginative story envisions a world where children are carefully protected from danger and from the truth. A sharp, poetic allegory about control, innocence, and freedom, it invites readers of all ages to question what “safety” truly means and what happens when protection turns into isolation.
The agreement on child protection was prepared and signed in no time, literally within two months: children must be protected from all the troubles that are happening in the world, and raised so that they can resolve global conflicts. Children are the future. And now child protection bases have been built, fenced off from the rest of the world. Everything has been thought out. The most progressive educational programs have been approved. The children were getting used to life at their base. Parents could call the base on a single emergency number. But for some reason they did not call. Was there anything left behind the concrete fences? And what world will the children go to when they turn eighteen? And why is the sea so beautiful where you can’t go? And why can’t you go there?
