SERAFIN, THE LIGHTHOUSE KEEPER'S SON
In Croatia at the end of the 19th century, during the reign of Archduke Franz Ferdinand (who was later assassinated in Sarajevo), Serafin Skok lives with his father in the lighthouse on the islet of Glavat. His father a cold, inaccessible man and his mother Maria having died when he was a child, Serafin grows up with the seagulls as his only playmates. As a young adult, he enlists and becomes an officer in the artillery battalion of the Austro-Hungarian Imperial Army, based in the city of Karlovac. There he meets and falls in love with Scarlet, a young woman with morals to match her name. Scarlet's spendthrift ways soon lead Serafin to financial ruin. He passes a bad cheque to cover his losses, but, racked by a guilty conscience, fearing scandal and loss of his army rank, Serafin feigns madness and ends up in an asylum. Within the walls of the asylum, what was feigned becomes real; he goes mad. With the help of Sofia, however, a young woman who works in the asylum laundry, Serafin manages to escape. Unlike Scarlet, Sofia is a simple woman with simple tastes, just the sort of wife Serafin now needs...
