by Roman Baskin
synopsis
After decades, an elderly billionaire woman visits her run-down and broken hometown. The old lady decides to give a hand for the town and offers it a billion. In return, she demands justice to be restored, wanting the head of a man, who refused to claim a paternity for her child. The perjury committed forced her to leave the town for good. To the townsfolk's amazement, the man, whose death she is looking for, is their honorary citizen Alfred III. They turn her offer down… The old lady, however, settles in the local inn to wait…
