Three novellas from the world of film, written with the techniques of cinema: visual detail, quick cuts and flashbacks. In Rainwater the screenwriter Timo and Alica share an intimate, everyday love told in lyrical images. In The Devil the story of Juraj, a pragmatic director, runs alongside the plot of the screenplay he is making from a literary work, and his casual pursuit of pleasure doubles the passions on the page. The shortest, Irises, follows Marek, a man in his sixties after two failed marriages, who faces the threat of losing his sight and brings his last relationship, with Hana, back to life through her occasional letters.
