They’re all there, gathered on the hot sand. Some standing, others sitting. They remember the good times of Maximilian’s life. His childhood, gilded in the old manor house in the family for generations. The eldest of four sisters and three brothers. His parents, wealthy aristocrats, spoiled their children till their last breath. The girls married wealthy men. The brothers entered the army. Maximilian preferred the religious orders. His attraction to religion began during his first communion. A magnificent ceremony with breathtaking choirs. When he went to bed that day, he had told his father his final decision.
