Especially documentary exploration of her new home, interacting with its people, experimentation with rituals ... Fractures of the same story, leaving a voice to local youth about their dreams for the future, the relationship with death.

Back to fiction, when seeds of a promise of rebirth for Christian, comes the inevitable fall. Like what, sooner or later, built his life on the dead led to his loss ...
