Višnja escapes her unusual cohabitation with Erjon, a worker and activist whom she helped over the past three years to collect video material exposing the dark side of society. What keeps her alive is the wish to help stop the killing machine she came to know while living with him, and her concern for her friend Frida. With the unusual Ema and Fe she finds new hope for the fight, and with friends she plans and carries out an action. But what happens when, instead of the social machine, her own body suddenly stops, as lesions begin to take it over? Can a psychological projection of her absent friend Lux guide her through the maze of her own shadows, and can Ema, Fe and Talita, her new found family, pull her into the present? Written entirely without capital letters, in a pre-apocalyptic world.
