Long ago Gulffi tossed drunk men out of an upstairs window to keep them off Siiri, watched by the gaping kids of the yard. Years on he works as a hearse driver, those kids are grown, and Siiri is frailer still. Then one of the former boys discovers two bodies in a flat, one sagging in an armchair, one curled on a made bed. A bleak, almost crime-like tale of two outsiders and their tangled bond.
