The optimism and idealism of the 1960s gave way to a dark, unforgiving era in the decades that followed. Beatniks who once dreamed of changing the world found themselves swept up in a frantic pursuit of wealth and power, blinded to the plunder of Mother Earth. 

Vera's parents, Leyla and Fabio, were among those who fell victim to this cynical descent. Perched atop a rugged Moroccan coastline, Vera's secluded villa stands as a silent witness to the tumult that has shaped her family's past. Listening to a recording of her mother's voice, Vera grapples with the ghosts of a legacy that has haunted her since birth. 

Leyla had fled the constraints of her Iranian upbringing, only to become entangled in the web of her half-brother Khosrow's ambitions in London's Swinging scene. Fabio, meanwhile, had managed the psychedelic desert rock band Jay & The Dark Theaters, their success ultimately undone by the scourge of heroin. 

Now, Vera finds herself at a crossroads, pregnant with Rachid's child and confronting the clash between local customs and her own fierce sense of freedom. As she delves deeper into her mother's past, she must also face the looming presence of her uncle Khosrow, a powerful businessman seeking to control the tapes and poems that hold the key to her family's history. 

Vera's journey is one of reclaiming the ideals that once burned so brightly, even as the world around her succumbed to greed and cynicism. With a newborn daughter on the horizon, she stands poised to break the cycle of discord and uncover the truth that has long eluded her family, restoring the spirit that her parents once embodied.
