Men, women. No particulars, cultivated and intelligent. We get to know them sentence by sentence, switching on and off, some incidents in his infancy, some experiences that formed her... a montage of gradual concentration. They are talking about traumata, the fathers death, the mothers attempted murder. Its a matter-of-fact way of talking without being detached. The individual quality of their experiences is cancelled in a kind of collective stigmatizing: They have all become heavy drug addicts. Heroin, cocaine, xtasy, speed... a social descent. The way in and the way out - a totally unspectacular report of their past and themselves.
