These are the tales of a young office worker who lives in a certain apartment building... a certain man who has returned to his childhood home after a long time, for the occasion of a friend's wedding... and of a certain man, who was asked to wait at a friend's house...
How many times has that second 
hand struck me in the head?
كم مرّة خفقتني تلك اليد الثّانية على رأسي؟
Wie oft schon hatte die zweite Hand

el segundero del reloj?
¿Cuántas veces me golpeará
el segundero del reloj?
La trotteuse vous a déjà
tapé sur le système ?
Quantas vezes a segunda 
mão me bateu na cabeça?
