Liviu, a perfect antihero, has reached his limit: he has failed both in his marriage and in his career, and is now among the poor and despised who, in the words of the Book of Job, have nothing to eat but roots. His mother’s illness and approaching death complete the picture. He goes back to his parents’ house to nurse her, and the return reconnects mother and son and draws him into a mythical time, like that of the beginning of the world into which he was once thrown. Love and death are the two great lines of the story.
