pereSTROIKA - reCONSTRUCTION of a flat

Perestroika means reconstruction. The metaphor coined by Gorbachev for the modernization of society is shown here with the complicated sale of a former Soviet communal flat. Every room of the desolate living space belongs to someone else - a single mother, a family of four, a bachelor, and a woman about to retire. Thus, many individual interests have to be accomodated. The sternly friendly real estate agents are happy to help - not out of altruism, but because capital must be enlarged, profit increased.
