An impressive gallery of characters, with their illusions and frustrations, pass before the eyes of the reader; each one stars a scene, each puppet makes his own cabriola and disappears, sometimes to not return, as a fire that illustrates an aspect of the rich, complex and changing reality that is the Great Apple; on other occasions they reappear, they relate to each other, and the various episodes, subject to an heir assembly of the cinematographic techniques, make up a fresh, daily language, in which they combine very different accents and that manages to transmit with extraordinary force the simultaneity of actions.
