In a world suffocating under a red sky, a father's promise is the only air left to breathe.

The year is 2055. Humanity survives behind the towering walls of the Zones, sterile bubbles of technology shielding them from the toxic dust of a dying world. For Gábor, an agricultural engineer, the system is a fragile truce—a daily struggle to maintain the delicate balance that keeps his community alive. But for his daughter, Lili, the filtered air is a slow poison, and her every breath is a reminder of the price of their survival.

When a critical well collapses, the illusion of safety shatters, threatening to plunge their Zone into chaos. Faced with impossible choices from a cynical leadership and the cold logic of a military command, Gábor realizes the system he serves is not designed to save them, but to manage their slow demise.

Forced to go rogue, he unearths a forgotten plan, a dead professor's last, desperate dream to heal the land itself. But the path to this forbidden knowledge leads through a labyrinth of corporate greed, military secrets, and the brutal realities of the Red Zone, a lawless wasteland ruled by scavengers.

Lili's Breath is a gripping, post-apocalyptic journey through a world on the brink. It's a story of love, sacrifice, and the unbreakable bond between a father and daughter. As Gábor fights against the clock, he must not only confront the monsters beyond the walls but also the ones within the system he once called home. Can one man's desperate gamble reignite hope and change the course of a dying planet, or will his daughter's last breath be lost to the silence of the dust?
