Life should be simple: whatever we need springs from Nature, free of charge. We can't create anything from scratch, because we can't be above or below Nature, we are absolutely in it.
Frank Legar, depending on the angle from which he is viewed, passes off as a pain in the neck, a sexual pervert, a mentally deranged, a righteous fellow, a living paradox... Then, he rescues Lorraine Pinson, a beautiful and wealthy adolescent, from suicide. They become good friends later. Such friendship unleashes an avalanche of intense emotions and uncontrollable passion, in Cows Island. Along the way, philosophy, religion, art, politics, science are being questioned. This story is a dramatization of "The sources of values", an essay on the world conditions by the same author.

Yolanda, five years before, offered her body to Peter as a new untouched temple to worship daily.

They get married and intend to live happily ever after. Suddenly, five years later, Yolanda, coming from nowhere, has returned and donated the same burning temple to Peter. Would that love reiteration end up in another disaster?

The dividing line becomes so clear to her now; and she has no choice but to acknowledge this dichotomy and react accordingly. She whispers: “Que sera, sera.â€
I often think that dream, taken to its broader sense, forms the backdrop of reality. This one, to start with, closely follows contours, appearances and uncertain aspects similar to dream evanescent characteristics, to its precarious and puzzling looks, giving, first, rise to hope, and then, with a reversal of fortune, showing a grimacing aspect of reality.
