Viktor von Domaszewski, a forgotten architect and builder, could have been the man who built the harbour of Pula; instead, through circumstance, he was removed from the task and left to put up a single warehouse. In the narrator's imagination he becomes the real author of everything that matters in the port. Between Pula and Belgrade, a city that long had a Boulevard of the Revolution, the melancholy narrator moves through dreamlike images and short scenes, and the tragedy of the recent wars is felt all the more strongly for never being named.
