He hopes for new prospects in D.C.'s gentrification process.

"Eroi" ai fostului regim politic, "oamenii muncii" ce locuiesc intr-o mahala a unui oras de provincie sint acum "balastul" noii ordini, pensionari sau someri. Azvirliti de istorie la periferia lumii, isi petrec timpul in aburi de alcool si zumzet de palavre. Pe masura ce personajele se adincesc in discutii, realitatea lasa locul unei lumi formate din amintiri distorsionate, nostalgii, fantasme, frustrari, stereotipuri, proiecte si fantezii excentrice.
