"It is a story about love that happened to small people in times of big change in the country. It is an attempt to capture a certain truth about life that is impossible to retell, that often lurks in the ordinary, the unconscious “here and now” and only gets revealed in unexpected conjunctions of things, unlinkable at first sight, or through distancing from the subject” (Marina Stepanska).
