help him!

Yes, daddy! I give you

my word!

Of course, I completely

forgot about the promise

I made my father. I moved to

Rome, as a real Roman,

and opened a nightclub,

a fancy place.

Until one day,

my phone rang...

Hello?

- Good afternoon.

May I speak to Santino

Genovese?

That day, for the first time in

my life, I heard the voice

of Trendafil Karanfilov.

- Who's Trendafil Karanfilov?

Trendafil is the son of the

blood brother Seraphim,

born out of wedlock between

Seraphim and an anonymous

female prisoner serving a

life sentence.

On the day of his birth, with a

sudden attack Israel declared

war to Egypt, Syria, Jordan

and Iraq.

By chance or not, little

Trendafil was born on the

day when a war began... and

wars shall mark

his entire existence!

Trendafil grew up in an

orphanage. His guardians

believed that watching war

movies best hardens the

child's spirit. But while all

the other children had fun,

little Trendafil was scared to

death!

Children, today we shall learn

the letter "A".

"A" is the first letter of our alphabet...

That feeling of fear

developed in the years that

followed:
On his first day at

school, General Augusto

Pinochet carried out a military

coup in Chile.

Trendafil! Don't tempt me!

He graduated when the civil

war in Nicaragua began...

Turn off the TV, you ass!

...He met the love of his life

on the day when

the conflict in Slovenia and

Croatia began...

...His first day at work was

the day when

the war in

Bosnia began...

...He got married when

NATO attacked Serbia...

As years went by, the gap

between wars

got smaller and smaller.

Deep down inside, he was

afraid. Deep inside

his heart, Trendafil was

preparing for war!

Until that spring, 2001...

During the day, the Albanian

terrorists have

been opening fire at the

special forces of the

Macedonian army and police,

all over the

front-line declared as the

so-called

"free territory of Albanians in

Macedonia".

Supposedly these terrorist

groups have been

entering Macedonia through

illegal crossings from Kosovo,

however the origin of

their heavy artillery remains

unknown. The fighting

is approaching

the suburbs of the

Macedonian capital...

Oh, dear!

THE CAPlTAL

BESlEGED BY TERRORlSTS

You really are driving

me crazy...

Why won't you open

the door?

If I were able to get up, I'd be

outside with a machinegun!

You're not missing much...

They've been shooting all

day long, but haven't shot

anything yet!

You've been trying

to walk again, eh?

He took my remote control...

- Oh, for God's sake, mother!

He took my remote, and he's

been watching

documentaries about animals

all day. While outside

patriots get killed, your
