Synopsis

In a future fractured by greed and greenwashed progress, a forgotten people live hidden one hundred meters beneath the surface of the earth.
They call themselves The Rememberers. Their shelter is carved in ancient stone, where firelight dances across walls lined with Mikuba: cobalt that once fueled empires now pulsing with ancestral memory. For generations, they have dwelled in the deep, speaking in drum codes and stone whispers, guarding the last living ore of truth: the cobalt that remembers.
