The Bench of the Illusions

Is happiness a filter we apply to the world, or a mirror reflecting our true selves? Can you truly love someone without betraying who they are?

When Yam meets Myri on a secluded garden bench, she is a woman trapped—shackled by the relentless expectations of everyone around her. Myri offers her more than just conversation; he shares a transformative philosophy: "The Three Sieves of the Heart," a secret key to unlocking authentic happiness.

Inspired and emboldened, Yam shatters her chains. She sheds her old skin to become the daring, vibrant woman she always dreamed of being. But the moment she finds her freedom, the man who liberated her vanishes, leaving her to navigate her metamorphosis alone.

What follows are years of silence, heavy with regret and lives lived in each other's shadows. When fate finally brings them face-to-face again, will they be granted a second chance? And if so, what is the price of reclaiming a love lost to time?

Discover a poignant contemporary fable about identity, sacrifice, and the eternal quest to find one's true self.
