They grant him immortality through “The Quasar,” a mysterious relic, but the cost is the gradual fading of his humanity. In the exhilarating sci-fi/fantasy, “Zib,” Zib must navigate treacherous alliances, confront his inner demons, and make a pivotal choice: embrace his role as an immortal assassin or defy his masters to reclaim his own destiny and free humanity from the grip of shadowy control.

Unbeknownst to them, are guided by a mysterious professor (Lino Guanciale) anthropology, and his blonde assistant, in this “Bildungsjourney” between ancient masks, religious festivals and archaic rituals that will inevitably lead our protagonists to confront each other and understand that wearing a mask is not enough to be what you want to be, but above all, every choice has consequences and responsibilities. With an unexpected ending and absolutely open to any further development.
