It tells of a demolition process: of a neighborhood and of a group of people. It visits the borders of civilization at a time when civilization is collapsing. The director establishes the right distance in watching his outcast characters with affection over a period of a year. With the simplest use of picture and sound, the film unfolds a slight narrative thread registering the passing of time, shot after shot. Any conclusion, whether moralistic or dramatic, would be indecent, and the film doesn't force one on the viewer.
