These stories lead into the world of society's outsiders, in a country where the communist dictatorship has left behind sadism, cynicism, greed and a thirst for power, and the old elite in its death throes looks much like the new one gaining strength. The big city fills with their smells, shadows and fates: a chance girl, a drunk, a homeless man, a stray dog, a fat woman. The characters are stripped to the hard, predatory core of the ego, yet every living being keeps its dignity.
