- Trama Carr MacKay, impiegato trentenne poco ambizioso and routine but highly ambitious and beautiful girlfriend, tries to ignore the sense of futility and irrelevance to everyday life, more and more the impression of not knowing their own part in the play and that people who attended, including his girlfriend, not recite as conscious actors but as automatons. One day he meets a girl who, just as happened to him, he is awakened in a blind world that idles like an old carousel. Together discover that it is not the only "wake up" others like them, but more cynical and ruthless, wandering in a group for the city, playing with the destinies of human immemorial.
- Emotions I read in my adult home, shared with mate who is now my husband I had just worked for free and full professors at the university. the philosophical theme, the night scenery, the cliffs of concrete faced a sea of \u200b\u200bcars, the interior full of shadows gothic feel, immediately recognizable and familiar, of emptiness and loneliness are intermingled with other readings of those days: The disqualified (Osamu Dazai) The beast in the jungle (Henry James), There's something rotten in Vernon Street (David Goodis).
- Then I listened to the Depesche mode ( Black Celebration), Peter Gabriel (Sledgehammer ), Queen (Who wants to live forever ), Dave Stewart e Annie Lennox ( When tomorrow comes ). I Clash e i Weather Report si stavano sciogliendo.
- Era il 1986 del secondo governo Craxi. Chernobyl ci era appena piovuto addosso e andare al supermercato significava leggere sulle etichette la provenienza di latte e verdura.
