Kino and Hermes travel to a country that boasts of its peaceful nature, but their arrival reveals significant inconsistencies.

Seeking to understand these discrepancies, Kino explores the local museum to learn about the region's history. She uncovers the truth behind the nation's definition of peace, which proves to be far more unsettling and complex than she had initially imagined.
