Spoilers ahead
Bruno Doriani, once a celebrated aerial performer, now moves through a fog-drenched London with a pronounced limp after a trapeze accident years earlier. His life has slid into a grim routine: nights spent in dim, seedy pubs, companions among sex workers, and a growing sense that his former glory is nothing but a distant memory. The city feels like a stage he can no longer perform on, and days drift by in a haze of memory, disappointment, and a quiet, persistent ache for what might have been.
