Synopsis:
A young orphan, Apollo, survives the harsh streets by his wits and a bit of thievery. His life takes an unexpected turn when he encounters Odessa, a mysterious fortune-teller. Drawn to the allure of her crystal ball, Apollo seeks refuge and guidance under her wing.
However, Odessa’s intentions are far from pure. She sees in Apollo a tool to be exploited, a young boy she can manipulate for her own gain. As Apollo delves deeper into her world, he uncovers a sinister truth. The crystal ball, once a symbol of hope and magic, becomes a weapon against the darkness that surrounds him. Apollo harnesses the crystal ball’s power, exposing Odessa’s true nature and disrupting her nefarious plans. The once-powerful artifact is drained of its magic, leaving Odessa to face the consequences of her actions.
Years later, Apollo, now a seasoned photographer, encounters a young boy at a flea market. This chance meeting sparks a reflection on his past, reminding him of the transformative power of adversity and the importance of using his experiences to help others.
