Vito Bonafacci

Summary Vito has a fatal heart attack as he is exiting the front gate of his stately home. Upon death his mom confronts him, making it clear, via a lengthy diatribe, that his existence was one of the material realm of sensual gratification - money, power, status and pleasure seeking- rather than that which is transcendent, thus he has been condemned to eternal death. Eventually we discover that this death experience was a dream, which greatly unsettled Vito, precipitating him to seek the truth relative to life's purpose, and the afterlife. Vto has periods of contemplation and dialogue with the housekeeper, barber, gardener, and his wife in search of answers - Is there such a place as heaven? Does Hell exist? Am I a good person? etc. Vito's soul searching includes a flashback to his youth listening to his grandfather speaking to him about eternity. In the midst of this quest for truth, as Vito is driving down the driveway about to exit the front gate, it occurs to him that his day is repeating itself as in the dream. Certain events of the morning...such as him making a demeaning comment to Mike, who is washing Vito's Porsche, were precisely as they were in the dream - "his dream was becoming his realty." Frightened that if he continued to go through the gate he would, like the dream, have a fatal heart attack, and be condemned to eternal death. Frantically he returns to his house, prays and has an edifying flashback to his youth, in which death, which is currently crippling with fear, is being discussed. In a state of angst he calls for his friend, Father Dellos, asking him to come to his home. Upon arrival the the priest counsels him about the events of this "strange" morning, and hears his confession. Finally, Vito makes a third and final journey down the driveway. View more details

Out of the fog

Out of the fog

On the eve of the full-scale outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War in 1937, under the leadership of Zhang Ping, a underground Communist worker under the leadership of the Communist Party's underground workers, the "Salvation Council" of Blue Water's anti-Japanese organization formulated a plan to steal the national treasure "White Jade Carving Dragonfly" that is about to flow overseas. Due to the mysterious killing of Lin Hai, the highest leader of the Salvation Council, the plan failed. Therefore, the chief investigator of the Lanshui Police Department, Ke Yang, and Zhang Ping were involved in the investigation of the case of Lin Hai being killed. The mutual exclusion of the two people from the beginning became a good brother of birth and death. At the same time, Ke Yang met Lin Hai, the sister of Lin Hai who was a member of the Salvation Association during the detection process, and they both fell in love. After the three people jointly experienced the confusing detection, Linxi was betrayed by a traitor, and Zhang Ping was captured by the national army and other thrilling events, Ke Yang gradually accepted the communist concept and anti-Japanese ideology. In the end, Ke Yang found out the murderer, but because of the corruption of the Nationalist government, the real vicious is still at large, Zhang Ping is also a heroic sacrifice. When Zhang Ping's death gave Ke's annoying touch, he finally realized that only the Communist Party could save China, and he and Lin Xi did not hesitate to join the revolutionary anti-Japanese torrent.
