The devil once took on the shape of a blackbird and flew into St. Benedict's face, causing the saint to become troubled by an intense desire for a beautiful girl he had met. He tore off his clothes and jumped into a thorn bush. This painful act is said to have freed him from sexual temptations for the rest of his life.

Blackbird reflects the brittleness of the moral standards, exploring the depths we avoid for our comfort. It discusses natural values and individuality versus prosthetic systemic morals and judgement. A Romeo and Juliet whose love is objected by the systemised contemporary morals. A story where lovers do not perish by knife nor poison, but disintegrate in a purgatory of systemic justice.
