Antakya, 1980. Djinns and humans live together in the sprawling city once called Antioch. Seventeen-year-old Selma is struggling with feelings of emptiness and depression and secretly visits the djinns to buy one of their magic potions called Mirages. Mirages can show you your wildest dreams, but come at a price.

When Selma visits the king of the djinns together with her friend Aisha, she is starting to suspect he knows more about her than he is letting on. Is there something she has lost? And is it possible for the king to help her find it?

A short story with a message of love and hope.
