Our life stories are constructed from a series of trivial objects that we carry around with us every day. In the midst of this mass of triviality, there are certain items that are especially significant and potentially life changing. However, we still perceive them as trivial. An object whose significance is overlooked in precisely this way lies in Jakov’s bag as he waits in front of Dinka’s building. Dinka’s parents leave the building. Jakov goes to her apartment. The next half-hour could change their lives completely.
