Assandira
Soaked to the skin, Costantino sinks into the haystack like old timber left on the shore by a stormy sea.

But the rain hasn't quenched the pain, the endless remorse for the son lost to the flames, the son he was unable to save. The first to arrive are the carabinieri and the young investigating magistrate: Costantino tries to tell them what happened the previous night, to explain how it all began.
