Tailor's Secret
The story is set in an ambiance of a dark utopian future, a city of mentally dead zombies under the firm grip of military dictatorship. Boldly, like a man on a mission, the Tailor will walk the Kafkaesque and macabre streets of a city where terror and gloom roam freely, in his Diogenes’ search for purity and love.
