A philosophical mystery about a castaway encountering an impossible, ghostly world on an island, blending science fiction with existential dread and the uncanny.

A castaway arrives on an island. He thinks it's uninhabited, but he sees a palace with also a hidden room. Soon he sees some people walking, dressed with old-fashioned clothes. He is afraid because people don't see him, like a ghost.
