Ill-paid and always tired, Sathi, a young soda-seller, finds relief from the tedium of the everyday in marijuana and his friends---vulnerable, desperate young men who work around a movie theatre. This is life lived in the shadows of show business, sustained by a petty and tiring commerce in sex and money. Stylishly written in a manner that mimics the rapid cuts and forward movement of Indian cinema.

Dedication
1. They work fast in the darkness
2. The quiet walls echo his call
3. Can’t bear being called a beggary dog
4. The well is large and probably very deep
5. His nose has been eaten away to a hollow
6. Sathi kicks at the gate
7. He whirls around, his hands held high
8. A lizard puts out a sly tongue
9. The dice show nothing
10. His voice booms and echoes off the theatre walls
11. He feels sapped and flops back into his seat
12. Laughter echoes around the huge empty room
13. A termite escaping a sudden patch of light
14. Wet sand sits well in ploughed-up areas
15. A dead, dry voice
