Victor was having a wash in his cabin when the boatswain called him to the phone. Although Victor had already heard: “Nika died”, he shouts all the same: “I can’t hear!”. Victor goes onto the mainland. After two days without sleep he reaches the hospital. When the doctor has finished speaking, Victor indifferently turns away to the window. All the details of this view from the window suddenly feel closer to him. Victor goes outside. The street is fast asleep. The entire town is asleep, as if extinct. But everything is breathing, snoring, muttering in a dream. This sleeping town is like a nightmare. In this nightmare those helplessly asleep are intertwined with the memories of his love. Victor wanders around the town in search of a person who is also, like him, on this side of reality. And he finds him.

Maris leaves his village and joins a Wehrmacht auxiliary unit. Together with other villagers, he receives weapons and becomes a soldier. They live in barracks inside a monastery. The spiritual nature of the place almost justifies crimes that thetroops commit and, in a way, grants them approval from higher forces. The boundary between the Exalted and the Terrible disappears. And while most soldiers are at peace with themselves, Maris cannot sleep. He is tortured by apparitions, the most horrific of which are visions of the future.
