The return of three missing persons to their hometown disrupts the established order. The plot thickens as more people become involved, all within the imaginary dream of a blue dog and a black crow.
‘Agora’ is the story of the return of three people who disappeared under unexplained circumstances. Fathi, a local police inspector, tries to understand this enigmatic return with the help of his friend Amine, a local doctor. The two friends struggle with the absurdity of the case and attempt to keep it from the townspeople. However, the news reaches the capital. Omar, a police inspector from the capital, is sent to solve the case but to no avail—tension mounts in the city, leading to several cursed events. Dr Layouni, a leading scientist, is dispatched from the capital to find a solution. Events accelerate, and tension continues to rise. All this occurs within the sleep and dreams of a blue dog and a black crow.
