✦ Synopsis

"La vita ha solo due strade: una porta in paradiso, l'altra all'inferno. È anche vero, però, che in molti punti le due strade s'intersecano." Nove personaggi destinati ad assumere di volta in volta un ruolo da protagonista, comprimario o comparsa, attorniati da un'umanità varia, spesso bislacca e dolente, ma sempre alla ricerca di una felicità dai contorni indefiniti che immancabilmente sfugge. Il ritratto a un tempo ironico e spietato di una generazione pronta a tutto, in un'epoca instabile, nei meandri di una città-labirinto, con le sue strade anonime, i cortili, gli androni, le periferie sommerse dalla polvere, le fabbriche, i garage, il fiume. In un paese che fatica a trovare la propria identità, sospeso com'è tra un passato ambiguo e un futuro incerto. Nove racconti collegati a formare un romanzo pieno di ritmo e pulsante di energia - con un contrappunto lirico finale.
