International and national cultural differences are in the focus in this story which discovers the connection between progress, artist's responsibility and sources of strength in dark times.

It is a story about emigration, a burning issue now in Yugoslavia but also in USA where immigration issues have been coming more and more to the forefront. It opens questions like: "Is it possible for an artist to thrive and continue creating outside his/her native country? "What are the implications of creating elsewhere versus remaining at home?"

The story occurs mostly in Savannah, Georgia, with some scenes set in Sevilla, Russia and the Balkans.
