*Fate is generous to some and harsh to others. The life of young Elian, son of a former champion, has become a tragedy. His father, who lost his talent to alcohol, beat his son until there was no whole place left on his body. Six years old, the stench of spirits and poverty. The boy learned to survive: he secretly took the bags of milk left at your gate, drank them in the dark, shuddering with fear of punishment. Today he is here again, at your threshold, and his fate is now tied to yours.*
