The Icon Stand

In late 19th century, a carver-cutter arrives in a little town to make the icon-stasis of the newly built church. He is being accommodated in the house of a respected family. He is working slowly because of his love for the daughter of his hosts. They resist in every possible way and pay a high price: Their daughter dies. Though in despair, the master completes the icon-stasis: a masterpiece the locals perceive as a heresy. And he leaves once again without any destination.
