Injustice will be expedited!

Warning: Spoilers
And injustice for all,and by order of His Imperial Majesty at the trial of 1896, no more, no less. Nothing can pay for the damage that is done to children to take away their illusion, since Ojiazul, the donkey abandoned by the disastrous muleteer and found by Kato and Sofo, the daughters of the curdled milk vendor Magdana, was saved from death and bathed and cared for with great care. The images of the children and their joy are overwhelming; Magdana breaks her back daily carrying milk and this drama can only be blamed for the fact that the plot, painful in itself (and which I am grateful for, ends with the realism that we all know exists in the world, with rulings in favor of the powerful or influential and not of justice), either excessively dramatized with the soundtrack that is actually beautiful, but crushing in spirit and combines mercilessly with the superb photography. Injustice for all will be my epithaph, echoeing to King crimson.
