Somewhere on the edge of the world, on the periphery of civilisation, people are on the move. Some travel by car, others on foot. They need to get home, but the return home keeps being deferred. At times it is possible only if the protagonist crosses the last border that separates him from the world. It is there that the transformation takes place.
