When offered a choice between all the gold or all the food in the universe, Hastar chose both, sparking a bitter conflict with his divine siblings. This story unfolds across three generations of the family who, lured by Hastar’s promise of gold, face horrifying consequences as they grapple with the curse of unending greed.
