A time when the younger generation is breathing down your neck and you are not an honourable teacher or colleague, but an unwanted competitor. A time when Solnes is trying his last to be the main architect of the City and is trying to destroy by any means whatsoever all those who want to break through to the front ranks. He can eliminate everyone, but he cannot eliminate one thing: himself and the youth within him, which is covered in superstition and moral legends.
For Solnes, youth returns in the form of the young girl Hilde and demands what he once promised. Hilde, searching for answers to her inner questions, wanders like an enchanted princess to find the once deified Solnes. The kiss mark left on the young girl's forehead bewitched Hilde and has never let her calm down to this day. The girl wanders the world, leaving behind a home she will never return to unless the culprit breaks the spell...
Youth lives in all of us, regardless of age, regardless of significant achievements. It is intoxicating, but for the person who betrays the dreams and desires that have been born, it can be a grave-digging punishment.
This is a story about the struggle within a man, a struggle with himself and his youth, wading through the labyrinthine maze of conscience and morality.
