Čistý, skromný život

One evening a man in his slippers opens the door and finds his wife's lover standing there, and with him everything he has been hiding from himself. A sworn old bachelor who boasts of his composure fingers a bottle of poison in his pocket. A forty-year-old accountant lives in a home like a little cage, or is it a real one? These story-portraits catch people mostly from the inside, within the circle of their thoughts, as they work through problems and traumas with more or less success: love real and imagined, infidelity, fatherhood, losses, dull work, low self-esteem and unmet expectations. The solutions they choose are logical, even 'normal', but madness is never far away.
