There are three of them and they have no names: they are a family
whose roles superseded by destiny. This is the story of man's
struggle for dignity of a man who has only a short time left to
live. In the first months of lockdown a mother and son struggle
against bureacracy to be able to visit the father in hospital and
to fulfil his last wish to return to their Dalmatian terrace just
as the cherries blossom and the swallows' nests are full of
hatchlings. In this novel, Prtenjaca deals with loss, short-lived
hope and memory, his voice is that of a child - one that asks
questions - alongside that of a mature voice of a man who has to
make difficult decisions. These voices overlap in a rhythmical
exchange of scenes and images from the past and the present,
comprising an elegy in which love reverberates like the sound of
cymbals. There's three of them, and they have no names. Sometimes
they seem alone in this world.
