Scenes and dialogues in which the speakers concentrate on the essentials in short, sometimes enigmatic sentences. Not a word too many – are they talking to each other or past one another? A bored policeman woos a maid, a rushed student meets a dwarf in the attic who asks him to visit him more often, and other encounters removed from time and space.
