Desire and the urge to get even run through nearly all these stories. A guardian angel, once at home on a farm full of animals, is stuck in a high-rise beside hateful neighbours. Fastidious young Margot is chatted up at a news kiosk by a tattooed, unwashed man. Eveline, who used to be on the stage, keeps her husband happy by acting out parts between the sheets, until a delivery at the door unsettles her.
