It's the 1970s and cracks are starting to appear in the alliance
between China and its Communist cohort Albania. When an Albanian
steps on the foot of a Chinese diplomat the tension cranks up -
couriers between Tirana and Beijing carry annotated x-rays of the
foot back and forth. The Chinese intend to punish their interfering
little ally discreetly. But is the Sino-Albanian axis about to come
adrift? This is Kadare's surreal black comedy about the inner
sanctums of political power and the mysterious causal chains that
transform ordinary lives.
