Culla's Journey
After abandoning his sister upon her discovery of the fake grave he created in the woods, Culla sets off walking from town to town looking for work.

It seems he cannot outdistance the punishment for his original sin.

Famous quotes containing the word journey:
“Learning and teaching should not stand on opposite banks and just watch the river flow by; instead, they should embark together on a journey down the water. Through an active, reciprocal exchange, teaching can strengthen learning how to learn.”
—Loris Malaguzzi (1920–1994)
