Alfred and Julia, a childless couple on the 16th floor of a new building, inhabit a seemingly perfect, fabricated world described as a felt‑like expanse from afar and a tidy park up close. After personal crises reveal their mediocrity, a mysterious epidemic on Aug 12 1977 is announced, then silenced, later revealed as a rehearsal for a real emergency. They continue living in this imagined land, now aware of its illusion.
