Summary

A suffocating miasma of bourgeois stasis envelops a middle-aged man, whose life, a relentless cycle of domestic predictability, yearns for the vibrant, dangerous pulse of the urban labyrinth beyond his window. His yearning manifests as a fateful nocturnal plunge into the city's expressionistic embrace, a maelstrom of distorted angles and looming shadows where moral ambiguity reigns supreme. Parallel to his descent, the narrative traces the symbiotic existence of an elderly blind man and his young, watchful grandson, their fragile interdependence a poignant counterpoint to the city's predatory nature. As the man's illicit escapade intertwines with the city's underbelly—a world of alluring women, unscrupulous gamblers, and sudden violence—his trajectory inevitably collides with that of the blind man and boy, drawing them all into a vortex of suspicion and tragic misunderstanding within this nameless, chaotic metropolis, ultimately forcing a stark confrontation with the consequences of his desperate longing for the 'street'.

Synopsis

Presents two distinct plot lines until the two eventually merge: the first is that of the bored middle-aged man seeking a departure from monotony in his life; the second is that of the blind man and the little boy, his grandson, who are interdependent. None of the characters have been given names and are therefore referred to only by description. The city is an expressionistic nightmare, a dangerous and chaotic place.
