When José's fireworks factory job ends explosively, his wife Laura returns to work. Recovering from his initial depression, he makes friends with his jazz- loving neighbor. But José uncovers a gruesome talent, and life, death and resurrection converge. Through one single, hypnotic paragraph, Havilio harnesses the unpredictability of Aira and the mysticism of Tolstoy in this discordant riff on suburban life.
