"Tornado" was the name of the cinema back then, down by the river. Everyone still remembers the old shed with the folding chairs. The screen where films with Marilyn Monroe and Grace Kelly played. And the night when the cinema was closed by the police. The protest march of the angry audience, the street battle. Like a shadow, the memory lies over the town in the plain, not far from the sea. Maria was there at that time, like many others. And also her friend Ramiel, who, as a police officer, suddenly stood on the other side and destroyed the projector in the cinema. Today she is a teacher and repeatedly tells her students the story of the King of Reval and Riga: How he wandered through the forests and deserts in deep sorrow to forget his great love, and how he learned the language of the sun, the moon, and the rain during his journey. In his second novel, he takes up this theme.
