High up on a wall in the middle of town someone has daubed a cryptic slogan, so far above the pavement that a ladder must have been needed. A painter who works only for himself fixes on it, convinced the words hold a message that could shed light on his own troubles and help him get back the woman he loved and lost. His bad dreams draw in a feverish city: young taggers and young thugs with bats, an Athos monk and an army NCO, a nurse, a fashion model and a man who sells holidays, a widow in no hurry to remarry, an ambulance man, and two former friends now bitter enemies.
