"A small ancient village, with few houses and a little church. Flipot is a young guy: he joins the mass every Sunday, with his most beautiful dress, only to see Rusina, sitting among women and children. One more glance before crossing the door of the church, running back home for the richest lunch of the week, when the family opens the best wine."
