They will not be able to sow a single seed until they have lived it all! The road became... Girlish passion and obsession. A tender sisterhood turns into a bitter struggle. Humility and disobedience. The old must die, because only death can give birth to life! A stalk of wheat dries under the scorching rays of the July sun... Its grain sprouts through the warm, soft earth... and the dance begins.
