Etanos, a patient with bipolar disorder, turns the spiritual world into a utopia called the "Suffering Poetry Society": in the eternal amber afternoon, the black sea surges, and the sky is full of poems. Aurelia and other five members use poetry, chess, and mathematics to interpret suffering, and the chess game never ends. In reality, he is patient No. 036 In a mental hospital. While struggling with medication and treatment, he discovers that traces of the poetry club have emerged in reality - it turns out that the five members of the poetry club were members of the poetry club who died in a fire many years ago. This world is his spiritual home built with memories.
During the treatment, Aitanos and doctor Opal fell in love across the boundary between doctor and patient. This love violated ethics. Opal was suspended from his job and the two were forced to flee into the mountains. In the days of isolation from the world, Aitanos experienced the darkest moments when his illness collapsed, but he also resumed painting in silence, recording emotions and daily life with lines and colors. His paintings were unexpectedly discovered, and a painting exhibition became an opportunity for him to tenderly connect with the outside world.
In the end, the two opened a cafe of the same name on the beach, turning the former spiritual prison into a harbor that accommodates all suffering and poetry. Aitanos uses painting as poetry, and Opal uses coffee as warmth. They coexist with diseases in the eternal afternoon, allowing suffering to accumulate as life nutrients, and also provide a corner for every traveler with hidden stories to rest their soul.
This is a redemption about suffering, madness and love, proving that suffering is never the end. In love and acceptance, all pain will eventually turn into poetry that illuminates life.
