Summary	We zoom into the varied lives of Ystadt's inhabitants, both joyous and mournful. In the city: the poet Eugene Tusk stumbles upon old haunts where his old poetry society, the Strombold Collective used to perform, and reminisces. A property agent, burdened with clearing the apartment of a recently deceased janitor, discovers a home-made museum dedicated to the dustpan detritus he has collected over his life. We meet two scientists fed up with astrophysics and out to disprove coincidences as a phenomenon, but who fall out over a girl whose father they both somehow know; elsewhere another two men meet to discuss the fate of an old schoolfriend, piecing together the clues in his life that have led to his sudden arrest for 'nose crimes'. As the vignettes progress they intersect and intrude on each other to form a multi-layered narrative collage.
