Cursed by the Almighty, Cain flees his family's farm, evading his brother's wrath. Drifting aimlessly, he bears witness to history's most infamous betrayals and massacres - from Noah's Ark to Sodom's destruction. As Cain encounters biblical figures and their petty schemes, he emerges as a wry, defiant rebel, testing the limits of divine power. At its core, Cain is a meditation on faith, morality, and the human condition.
