There are people who do not belong to themselves at all. Their duty is to serve the good of their country, and it doesn’t matter whether such a person has children, a spouse, a golden retriever, or other intangible values. They live under the constant aim of enemies and risk being killed every second, losing their loved ones, or ending up in prison — because one wrong move or one clever action by a skilled opponent, and the entire game called life can collapse and scatter like smoke above the ground.
The main heroine of the dramatic crime thriller Homeland: A Stranger Among One’s Own has endured countless tragedies and moral catastrophes. Carrie Mathison has been betrayed, humiliated, underestimated, and had her heart shattered many times, yet she bravely pieced it back together and kept moving forward, much to the frustration of her enemies.
