Rok trajanja

The narrator is a palliative carer who accompanies people through the last stages of dying, through failing strength and the extreme emotions stirred up by old grudges and regrets. His expertise, order, hygiene and work ethic guarantee relief in the last days and dignity among the dying and their families. Yet in contrast to his pedantic approach to each case, or "project" as he calls it, doubts and suspicions keep growing in his head and spill over from work to his occasional partner Katarina, whom he comes to believe is manipulating him, and to his companions from the local bar. Hours vanish while he broods, until dawn reminds him; he wakes from paranoid dreams into new ones and tries to find out what has driven him to this state, on the border between reality and hallucination.
