Psalm 129
De profundis clamavi ad te, Domine;
Domine, exaudi vocem meam. Fiant aures tuæ intendentes
in vocem deprecationis meæ.
Si iniquitates observaveris, Domine, Domine, quis sustinebit?
Quia apud te propitiatio est; et propter legem tuam sustinui te, Domine.
Sustinuit anima mea in verbo ejus:
Speravit anima mea in Domino.
A custodia matutina usque ad noctem, speret Israël in Domino.
Quia apud Dominum misericordia, et copiosa apud eum redemptio.
Et ipse redimet Israël ex omnibus iniquitatibus ejus.

Synopsis
The first sudden nuclear explosion covered vast territories, releasing a powerful wave of radiation which destroyed everything for hundreds of kilometers around. When the affected area was examined, a small unaffected plot of land was found with white fog swirling around it. A few meters above the ground, in the center of a pulsating sphere of flowers, there was an immobile human figure, also covered in flowers; numerous chrysanthemum buds hung in the air and wrapped the surviving grass like a pulsating shield. An expedition was found there an old woman who was miraculously unharmed, although she
did not respond and did not understand anything. To receive treatment as soon as possible, she was sent to the nearest individual rehabilitation center together with the girl-doctor who took constant care her recovery process. However, preliminary tests demonstrated that her memories of the world around her and about her personality had vanished completely. The recovery took months. From archival documents it was possible to find out that this woman was retired, grew and took care of chrysanthemums, and was unofficially known as a healer, saving dozens of willing people from various diseases with her hands. Having received a clear order to achieve results, the girl restores her memory bit by bit, when in the process of recovery it becomes clear that the burden of memories can become unbearable for the old Healer...
