INTRODUCTION

Dor is a young man who lives in ancient times, long before clocks or calendars existed. Fascinated by the passage of time, he becomes obsessed with measuring it using shadows, water, and the moon. While others live in the moment, Dor spends his days inventing ways to track time. This obsession causes him to miss out on the joys of life, including precious moments with his wife, Alli. His actions eventually lead to punishment from the gods, who trap him in a cave and make him listen to the voices of people from all eras crying out about time—because he is the one who introduced it to the world.
