The mother who enters the cafe last to identify the nineteenth body brings home her dead eighteen-year-old son packed in a coffin, as well as the sole survivor of the blast, a three-year-old boy, who by a strange quirk of fate, is found lying in a small empty space, alive and breathing.

The Empty Space recounts the memories of the boy gone, the story of the boy brought home, the crossing of their life and death and the mixing up of their identities.
