This mysterious young man, passionate about the occult, tries to find common ground with Momo, who, in turn, professes a belief in ghosts.
What begins as a dispute over the real and the imaginary becomes a wager that leads both protagonists to separately explore places associated with both the occult and the supernatural. The surprise comes when they discover that both dimensions coexist, triggering a series of surreal events.
As they immerse themselves in this world where the inexplicable intertwines with the everyday, Momo and the boy embark on an adventure to restore the balance between the supernatural and the real.
