It is summer in Sozopol, but apocalyptic events follow one after another, only hinted at and never explained, in the manner of fantastic fiction. The heroine, disoriented and bent on hurting herself, is by turns cynically detached and touchingly fragile and helpless. Unrest much like the protests that later swept the country spreads to Sofia and beyond, and the manhole covers in the streets turn out to hide anything you care to imagine.
