Days like strange symptoms
Sisyphus wanders through hell with an empty wheelchair, not quite sure what she has to do there except to pick up her daughter, who is multiply handicapped, from the day care center. A mission that repeatedly fails, after which she returns, disappointed, to the dilapidated downstairs apartment of an eccentric apartment complex. When, seemingly out of nowhere, her landlady strikes up a conversation with her, she suddenly begins to remember things.
Days as Strange Symptoms is a battle against boredom, a search for the limits of motherhood, of hope and despair, of life and death.
