Hunchbacked Bulat Okudzawa with his terrible Russian guitar, Isiah from Siekierki, a writer on the road, Grażyna, whose body is not enough to call her Grażyna, a drunken postie, limping Bartek, a cat and grandpa, Mr Gerber, who teaches history and takes photos of naked women, Danił Charms, who died of hunger, Buła, who hung himself, na elderly gent without savings – all whirl in a dizzying dance macabre – dance of death, a true carnival of life. In Grochow, Brno, Saska Kępa, in a Galician town where the tongues wagged further than the streets reached, and whispers tolled louder than church bells, in Pinsk, in Kiev, in Central Eastern Europe.
