The Man with the Flower in His Mouth

Overview

The dialogue takes place in a night bar between a man sentenced to death for epithelioma ("the flower in his mouth") and a "peaceful customer" who has missed his train; that is, between someone who lives intensely the little time he has left and someone who has plenty of hours to spend idly, waiting for the morning train and preoccupied with a trivial setback.
