A story about two people who were connected by fate in one terrible incident. When they were children, the father of one of the heroes, in a fit of jealousy, while intoxicated, killed his wife in front of their eyes, strangling him with his bare hands. But he didn’t just kill her: after tearing the woman’s clothes, he raped her, finally mutilated her face with a knife and put a red beret on the unfortunate woman’s head, which became the cause of the conflict. A few years later, in a small town where the main characters lived, a young girl was killed; the cause of death was surprisingly similar to the murder of the mother of one of the characters. But the killer was never found. Ten years later, another murder. Still the same handwriting: strangled, raped, face mutilated, red beret on her head.
