Raul has been going through an dull patch for some time. Isolated in his music, serving the record-shop clients who are in search of a soothing balm or alienation, leaving for tomorrow what he could say today, surviving his abusive relationship with Carla and burdened with the feeling that he's dragging six times his weight through life. Raul knows that it's not a question of judging himself harshly, but however hard he tries, he can't pull himself up. And, yes, he knows, every cloud has a silver lining and the calm after the storm etc etc. Whatever, but sooner or later he will have to take stock, understand what we lose on the road, shed the load, change scene.
