World view setting: {Historical fiction}
The story takes place in Catania, a port city in Sicily, Italy, in the mid-to-late 19th century. At this time, Italy was a country that had lost its soul. After Italy was separated from colonization, the people were eager for the emergence of good leaders. Under the pressure of poverty, fatigue and other pressures, they voted for Hertri, who gave a beautiful speech.
Hertri promised to ensure the people's livelihood, but after coming to power, he established a fascist regime under the banner of democracy. The Hertri government tried to dumb people down and rebuild a society based solely on faith. He exerted ideological control on the people, instilled the idea that "strength comes from faith", and used faith as a guise to strive for complete ideological obedience to the ruling party.
However, the people's general fear of the political power prevents them from facing their true beliefs and allows the government to influence their outlook on life, values, and world view.
