When Matilda tries to depict Hassan's life in a book, she is not satisfied with his version of the events. She takes a deep dive into Hassan's background and discovers a life story that does not match his narrative. The deeper Matilda delves, the clearer the picture becomes of a man who has created an alternative reality for himself because the truth is too hard to bear. Hassan has been hiding behind a wall of lies for 20 years, but the aftermath of Turku terrorist attack breaks down that wall.
