The story unfolds in an Athenian apartment building of the 1960s, echoing distant events such as the assassination of Kennedy.

From the windows of the light well and onto the broom of a diligent and discreet doorman, small and large human secrets fall.

From the penthouse to the basement, people—industrialists, doctors, housewives, workers, young children, and an old maid—struggle, hope, love one another, seek refuge in delusions, and find their way back again.

Characters so convincing that you feel you could touch them.

Where human lives are close, the refreshing pen of the author lightly passes the "secrets" to them and to us.
