POSLJEDNJE POGLAVLJE

Jovan has turned his back on the city because he is suffering from a profound writer's block and hopes to find the longed-for peace in rural isolation so that he can finish his first novel. A girlfriend has organised a room for him in a sparse wooden house. It lies in a secluded and barren part of the mountains, in the middle of a crumbling settlement. But he is not really alone. A small family of farmers is also living in the house: a father, his son and his two daughters. Four adults who don't want to have any contact with the outside world and can neither read nor write. Zeko, the father, rules his family with an iron fist and initially treats the city dweller Jovan, the stranger, politely, but the facade begins to crumble. One day, they give Jovan a book, the Bible, as a present. He reads them the Passion of Christ from the Gospel according to St. John – sealing his subsequent fate. WMH
