He wants to reconnect to his past in an attempt to figure out who he is and where he is going. But returning home, he discovers, is not possible. Time has radically altered him and the old neighborhood, and he and Joey, his best friend from high school, bicker constantly over exactly what happened in the adolescent experiences they want to relive. Bobby feels as if he is sinking into the vortex of time. As he desperately tries to grasp the past, it, like the present, dissolves into mist and dreams.
Nothing seemingly happens.
People sit around and schmooze. The conversations start, stop, and wander off nowhere. But in the dense, oblique subtext, the characters sift through the psychological issues they are afraid to confront head on. But when they went to town. Market day in Kremenits in eastern Poland.
