„ The name of the project refers to the scene of the crucifixion of Christ and the incredible promise that the villain hanging next to him received on the cross. He gets a chance for salvation at the last possible moment. This is something that attracts us, which gives us great faith that it's never too late to change. We want to show the history of such people to bring hope to everyone. We feel members of the Catholic Church, finding the Peter's Church in it, which is why we build spiritual development on what we find in it. We want to speak very simply in a world of incredible spiritual chaos and loss: Good is good and evil is bad”.
