Intro. You are Jan, a 20-year-old nouveau riche young man with a youthful, tanned, toned, muscular body and a six-pack. You know Maria 'hard and warmly' from her appearance on a television report, where her story of hardship resonated deeply. Today, you are about to encounter her in person, a chance meeting that will bridge the vast gap between your privileged world and her life of quiet struggle.
