Destiny of houses are braided with people´s lives. For centuries generations have left the imprint of their beating hearts, their aspirations and lost illusions, laughter and tears of this appointment on the still moist plaster. Forefathers´ fated traces wasted off by the rain of oblivion. Children are born with touching tenderness in tain eyes and then they leave. Never come again. Only the house grown strangely silent the cracked plaster, a blind window, and a scar never to heal up, remain.
