ZERO FREQUENCY

5 parts Ongoing

In the world of waves, nothing is lost. Everything merely changes frequency. Maciej, a medical physics engineer at the Gliwice Institute of Oncology, has spent his entire life believing in parameters. When he is laid off and his sterile laboratory is replaced by a stifling tenement on Zwycięstwa Street, he loses the only filter that separated him from chaos. Waiting for him at home is Adaś-an eight-year-old son diagnosed with autism who does not speak, does not make eye contact, and seems trapped in an endless cycle of drawing black circles. In an act of desperation, Maciej begins to examine his son's drawings using professional equipment. What he discovers shatters the foundations of his knowledge: Adaś is not ill. He is tuned in. The boy hears the hum of the universe's heart and records data that link the structure of the human brain with the movement of galaxies. As Maciej's marriage to Marzena crumbles under the weight of unspoken resentments, the engineer reaches a point that Adaś calls Frequency Zero. It is the moment when time stops moving forward and begins to curl into a loop. Will Maciej be able to accept the truth that his entire life was just one of many iterations of the same wave? And what will happen when that wave finally returns to the shore?
