Description:

Three interconnected stories culminate in a short novella, whose stone building is a metaphor for the various oppressive institutions -- prisons, police HQs, hospitals and psychiatric asylums -- which dominate the lives of these characters. A distillation of the experience of exile and incarceration, both physical and mental, presented in moving, allegorical portraits of lives ensnared by the power structures.
