As the city grinds through a long, hot summer, a group of friends living on its margins face a ritualized confrontation between truth and falsehood. One of them has misled the others with a series of utterly unmotivated fabrications. Why? What lies behind the deceptions?
At the Bottom of the Sky explores these questions and the lives of a clan of unforgettable characters in linked tableaux that are as lush and sensual as Persian miniatures. Each story focuses on a single event – the assault of two young men or the completion of a talking sculpture, for example, that brings on another change in the group.
