Nous connaissons notre propre mortalité et pourtant nous nous comportons comme si nous vivions éternellement. À la merci de la chaise du dentiste, le protagoniste ne peut échapper à la confrontation avec la douleur et les rebuts de la misérable condition humaine. Pour se distraire, il se réfugie dans une histoire fantasmée de pêcheurs et de mer.
In balia della sedia del dentista, il protagonista non può sfuggire al confronto con il dolore e la feccia della miserabile condizione umana. Per distrarsi, si rifugia in una fantastica storia di mare e pescatori.
