PRIČE: ELODIE PINEL
Coordinator of suspicion
Peter Freeman discovered his religious vocation when he was already 42. Was there any other choice for Dutch immigrant, ready to give his life for the Puritan America? During the 1842. in the West, people were infected with "gold fever," but Peter was shy and lonesome young man. Fifteen years ago, he felt in love with a street girl near Amsterdam channels. The girl was arrested, imprisoned and sent to this New World, full of evangelists, convicts, poor people who followed their dreams and miserable girls just like her. When he heard what had happened, he didn’t think twice: he left his quiet life and straight away started to search for the lady of a too short night. In America, he named himself with a name that symbolizes liberty he was looking for: Freeman. The girl probably did the same, because in the city of New Amsterdam, he found no one with the sweet name Teresa Attevelt. After exhausting fifteen years of searching he decided to become a priest. Gradually he closed windows of all his hopes, except one: possible reunion with this girl, and taking her out from a misery. As a priest he listened parishioners' stories, street girls’ confessions, seeking in every girl the one he wanted to marry.
