Wladek and Pawel are traveling around the markets and bazaars of Southeast Europe in their old delivery van. However, their second-hand clothes from "Paris-London-New York" are no longer in demand: suddenly, cheap textiles from China appear everywhere and ruin their business. When Wladek falls in love with the ticket seller of a carnival carousel, the two unexpectedly get caught up in the criminal activities of human traffickers. The road trip turns into a thrilling chase, where the stakes are no longer about counterfeit Chinese brand goods, but about life and death. Andrzej Stasiuk at the peak of his powers: with dry humor and a keen sense of impending disasters, the great contemporary Polish author tells the story of Eastern Europe's disappearance in the wake of globalization.
