Holy Saturday. The fireworks for the Resurrection ceremony are the reason an old dark hostility between Luan and Thymios is rekindled. The foreigner and the local, the atheist and the religious man, pigheadedness and righteous anger. Our story ends in a tragedy. Its victim is Haris, the child of immigrants.
