An island of exotic radiance is hidden from the inquisitive human eye. Thousands of miles away, children are dressed in red and blue, playing the good and the bad, while others watch over the roofs, impatient, until the familiar silhouette of the bat is sketched through the clouds. But further down, where the innocent ear of children no longer listens, where the light no longer has its place, there men machinent, bet on the life of the next unconscious who will venture on their territories. Between evil and good, no one knows which one came first. One does not live without the other, just as the hero does not exist without his antipode. It is up to the man to decide on which side of the edge he will set foot. Will you choose vice to hope? Darkness to light?
