The Pleasure of Being Robbed

A curious and lost Eleonore looks for something everywhere, even in the bags of strangers who find themselves sadly smiling only well after she’s left their lives.They owe her their thanks. It is a portrait of loneliness at its guttural worst and best, funniest and saddest, real and unreal, under the blanket and atop.
