DUNA is a story about a young woman named Duna who remembers moments of her past lives and her deaths during different periods of history. In each previous life, events are associated with the same place and the same person who is always blamed for her death. The tense relationship between Duna and her husband in present life now leads to despair, anger, and uncontrollable visions of past lives. As a result of her death in past lives, Duna finds herself in a situation where she has the opportunity to escape from this endless and vicious circle, sacrificing what is most dearest to her in present life. Duna has to make a choice that will affect not only her present but also her future.
