Trapped in a bomb-shelter following a cataclysm, a narrator tells us the story of an apartment block in which the lives of its seemingly ordinary residents were anything but. A still-life painter ponder the permanence of objects; a husband and wife negotiate the vastness that has grown between them within the confines of their tiny apartment; an old Franciscan comes to terms with the death of his wife, and forms a relationship with a child whose life is just beginning. As they hurtle towards their inevitable end, the apartment is transfigured into a museum celebrating the beauty of quotidian |
