In a tiny village in Tel Aviv, Mr. Shmelkin walks his crocodile everyday and sits at table in his favorite Arab restaurant for 18 hours a day. Mr. Shmelkin suffers from epilepsy & serious alcoholism who accidentally and constantly falls out of the 2nd-floor window of his apartment. His crocodile has saved his life for so many times!
Mr. Gurdjeiff has his giant tree standing in the sun every morning and he likes sitting under the tree reading the paper with a cup of coffee. They both still rummage around the flea market though there are already many collectibles and objects displayed around their apartments. Lots of goodies but never enough!
Are they normal?
I don't know.
Does life go on?
YES!
