Para el doctor Josef Kronz, una ciudad es todas las ciudades. En todas será un extraño. Un extranjero siempre es el otro, el que mira, desde fuera, lo que ocurre en la ciudad, detrás de las cortinas, bajo la lluvia, siempre bajo la lluvia. Mira a distancia, desde el futuro, jamás desde el pasado, porque el extranjero, este en particular, ha procurado no llevar un bulto sobre los hombros: no hubo un antes para él o, mejor dicho, tiene una inmensa capacidad de olvidar.
