A short story collection in which a cat crossing the street leads into scenes of the city, everyday life, old age, loneliness, and fragments of memory. It catches the allegory and poetry hidden in small, ordinary moments.

From the small event of a cat crossing the road, the outlines of the city and its people begin to emerge.
