The lead character in the novel is a poet, Ghazalnus, whose outlook is in stark contrast with that of a powerful politician, nicknamed the Baron of Imagination.
The Baron has his own scheme, to construct a beautiful district, “a mini-paradise”, and he approaches the town's poets and intellectuals to help him with the design of the project.
This is a satirical reference to the Kurdish authorities’ liking for extravagant schemes, such as high-security residential areas and hotels, on which they spend public money, while failing to address essential political and social problems.
The plot features elements of fantasy: the poet discovers a land that turns into an infinite garden at night, a group of women living in a shelter to escape domestic violence weave the world's biggest carpet, and a Hollywood film buff leads a group of blind children on an imaginary sea journey.
