New Basilicata, east city wall.
The battle is in full swing, but it has not yet reached the side of the wall they are stationed at. However, it is clear this temporary peace will not last long.
Edgar is a Sicilian immigrant, who previously worked as a contracted slave in the North for a period of time.
Without security, receiving no salary, and not even getting enough to eat, he could only watch helplessly as his wife, in order to survive, entered a local tavern and became a call girl, eventually leaving with a supposedly distinguished Englishman without looking back.
Later, after finally shaking off that identity, he joined the local community gang, known as the Mafia.
But the Mafia, claiming to stand up for fellow villagers, is obviously not a charity organization. They treat locals who have immigrated as merely a resource.
Women are used to sell their bodies, and men too, though in another sense.
