If the new world ever existed, it is still hidden way behind the horizon. An analogue clock is ticking away the last seconds before world crisis, while a noble patina covers fragments for archaeologists of memory.

A silent relief in between two wars; a time of diffident bodies, of melancholy leisure, of secret divisions of the world.

It is 1929. Peace before an enormous explosion.
