Synopsis
Things can turn in an instant; some apparently random event occurs that has the potential to alter everything... Michael Vitch's life is secretive and repetitious. He prefers it that way, no challenge, no change. Then he catches a glimpse of something that appears at first to be insignificant, yet enduringly unforgettable: an old man appeared briefly at a window before stepping back into the shadow of his lonely room. Some time later he hanged himself. A stranger's suicide and then the arrival of May, a young Bosnian refugee who becomes infatuated with him, stir up uncomfortable emotions Michael thought he had buried long ago.

Review
Michael's slow but steady implosion is measured out compellingly in this cunningly wrought densely textured narrative of personal and political disintegration. -- Michael Kerrigan, The Scotsman
Synopsis
Michael is approaching his mid-life crisis with trepidation. His relationship with his girlfriend is rocky and unresolved, and he becomes sexually involved with an au pair, May. When Michael is held up as a rapist and pariah by those around him, it's only the beginning of his troubles.
