The story
In a city built to defeat heat, noon arrives without shadows. The phenomenon is treated as a civic miracle until photographer Rima captures one impossible shadow crossing an empty plaza. The shape belongs to a missing dissident, and following it means exposing a daylight crime everyone can see but nobody can prove.
