Lionella
Lionella is a name no one would give to their child where Magomed comes from. The problem is, being a second-hand refrigerator vendor in a remote mountain village, he is of too little authority to his son who has moved away to the city, started a life too different from that of his parents, to the extend that even a name that he chooses for his newborn is unacceptable for the people of his native village.
