[fusion_textUnnamed characters of the story live in an abandoned agricultural machinery plant. They have lost all the values that could help them give reason for their existence. There is only one desire that can break them free from this feeling of annihilation – the desire to escape. Each one of them tries to create their petty plans to get out but their fatal lack of self-confidence makes them incapable of fulfilling the plans. What they are all really waiting for is a Messiah who would not only absolve them from their sins, but would lead them out of their miserable everyday life and save them from this pouring sea of mud that engulfs everything. Their wait is not in vain…
