different voices speak to him – sometimes whispering, sometimes
moaning or screaming – every time he hears the water running. One day, as Stavros roams the city in the pouring rain, the voices become insistent, revealing its deepest and unspeakable secrets, as well as like his dreams and his memories. He is tormented by these mysterious voices, perhaps a sign of his Madness. Or perhaps of a larger collective madness, which infects everyone around him, until the point of being transmitted to the entire universe.
