“It is a seemingly simple story, but it nurtures a great idea. A young boy, still almost a child, is bold enough to slap an important man in the face. The man is totally convinced of his own impunity. Indeed, of all the adults in the neighbourhood, honest and kind people including war veterans, no one had been morally strong enough to challenge everything that man stood for, that is, an arrogant form of power making a mockery of ethics and consciousness”.
