The city of the dead


They were 62 beautiful minutes about misery, philosophy, happiness and life (and death) in general.

A lady was explaining that they had had to leave the tomb they were leaving in, for which they were paying 1 and a half pound, and rent another for 70. She was peeling potatoes. Her young daughter was washing the dishes. "Are you happy", they asked her. She gave a big smile. "Yes, thank God", she answered, without hesitating a bit.
