Featuring a very talented double cast, the show presents the loss of innocence and the confrontation with the tragedy of life’s realities, wrapped in a fake detective story. The strength of the acting confronts scientific reasoning and salvation brought about by Christian love. The tragedy of the main character resonates with the threat of obtuse faith, a theme very poignant in today’s (Romanian) world, a world that has lived through a phase of denial of the pandemic, prone to ideas contradicting scientifically based theories.
