Ordinary-looking people, sometimes coarse and clumsy, live through the traumas and disasters of everyday life: love and falling out of love, betrayals, partings, forgiveness and revenge. What makes each of them unique lies beyond appearances, in their inner self and the silent conversation they carry on with a loved or unloved person, and their reactions stay unpredictable to the very end. Again and again the stories turn to children, brave and desperately hopeful little sages whom adults love but seldom understand, and who, unlike the grown-ups, understand one another and forgive their parents' sins.
