PLOT SUMMARY
The edge of an industrial city… an abandoned ballast tank and its solitary tenant… one day like any other, in his empty world of concrete and iron, a stranger appears… apparently nothing changes, but nothing is the same anymore.
WHAT CRITICS SAY:
Balastiera #186 is less a story than a poem about loneliness and longing, about our insatiable need for the other and about the impossibility of real communication between people.
