The Necktie
The Necktie is the story of Valentin and his compelling quest for the meaning of life. A model employee’s personality is effaced by futile work in a dead-end job that makes him forget his youthful pastimes. As his birthdays go by, boredom replaces hope and his old aspirations fade until his 40th birthday, when he rediscovers an old accordion hidden in a closet and regains the joy of life.
