These three stories, part-nightmare, part-comedy, are but one, since the three men are in fact a single person who suffers from "multiple personality syndrome". And although he has at least three lives, he has only one death like any normal person. A tragic death in his case, since no one can live several lives with impunity. Festival selections |
