Everything seems simple: someone drives a taxi, collects rubbish, cuts hair, guards a museum room. Then the uncanny slips in. A hairdresser steals a client's hair and secretly stuffs pillows with it. A young woman sleeps in flats that are not hers, and her partner finds grass growing under the bathroom floor. A homeless man feeds a strange creature that fell from the sky. Someone writes letters to a pensioner on the walls of a lift. The characters share a nameless metropolis and a longing that seals each of them in a world of their own.
