The Shrouds

In a world where technology advances faster than our emotions, the story of Karsh, a 50-year-old businessman, raises profound questions about grief, ethics, and the limits of love. After the tragic loss of his wife, Karsh is left emotionally devastated. Unable to accept her permanent absence, he channels his pain into the creation of an innovative—and controversial—technology called GraveTech.

GraveTech is not just a tool for comfort: it allows the living to monitor their deceased loved ones through systems installed in their burial sites. This development sparks intense reactions, both of admiration and rejection. For many, it offers a way to maintain a connection—however symbolic—with those who have passed. For others, it represents an invasion of the dignity of death and a sign of how technology can cross delicate moral boundaries.

Caught between his role as a visionary and his unresolved grief, Karsh becomes the center of a social and philosophical controversy. But his story takes an unexpected turn when, one night, several graves equipped with GraveTech—including that of his late wife—are desecrated. This act of vandalism is not only an attack on his company but also a deeply personal violation that reopens still-raw wounds.
