Storyline
A black raven lands on the tree in the centre of the gloomy square. Its caw rouses you from your sleep on the church stairs.
A new night of purgatory has begun.
You’ve lost track of how long you’ve been doing this. It must be centuries. You often wonder if people still remember you, Diego Velázquez, the greatest painter of the Spanish Golden Age!
Lately, you’ve been feeling that your dreary existence as a ghost has been expiation enough. But little do you know that today is your Day of Reckoning.
