Cockatoo. White Patrick

Whoever they are and wherever they live - in quiet bourgeois towns and cozy suburbs of prosperous post -war Australia or a hungry, perplexed by the pitch horror of the German occupation of Greece - each of them carries its own hell and fights with its demons alone. Any attempt to break through the wall of total loneliness leads only to even greater misunderstanding and removing from each other even the closest and most loved ones. In the air, the sensation of an imminent tragedy is spilled, which only a miracle can help to avoid... and sometimes it happens - and not in the metaphorical, but in the most literal and literal sense of the word...
