Като пристигнеш, обади се

Twenty-one stories, balanced between humour and drama, about ordinary people who feel stranded by life: lovers and couples splitting up, office high-flyers and the jobless, the dying and those just starting out. Travel is rarely in the foreground, yet each of them is on some kind of journey, towards change, a realisation, a rescue, revenge, acceptance or death. Their world is scattered and chaotic: relatives have emigrated, friends are foreigners, children study around Europe, parents have left for other countries, and television and the internet have become home. Suddenly confronted with the truth about themselves and those around them, they may find a chance to settle scores, a hope of a better life, or a dignity stronger than suffering.
