but... WHY?
“Everything is going to be okay.”
Synopsis
The voices in Markus' head whisper to him that he is to blame for everything – just as his mother said. Years of accusations have destroyed him, and guilt has become a part of his being. As he dives into the dark world of his thoughts, he wonders: Does he really bear the blame, or is it just the echo of a toxic past?
