The man
does not give up in his intent of jumping off the edge, and people keep
crowding at the street. The police psychologist tries to divert the man
attention by asking him some questions about several topics. The conversation
keeps going for about three hours, and the psychologist’s personal problems
start to flourish. He did not have a better life than the jumper. His wife had
cheated on him with his best friend and he had a big debt with the bank because of
an unlucky investment that turned out to be a scam. Both men on the edge start
to empathize with each other to the point that they both decide to jump holding
hands to escape together of such a miserable life. As they are falling and
feeling the air on their faces, they realize that it is not the concrete what
will stop their fall. Poetically maybe, a garbage truck is passing by, and both
men, who tried to leave their problems behind, find themselves surrounded by
rotten fish and smelly food. They were now truly sunk in the shit.
