E finisce con il consegnarci una galleria di memorabili mostri. E allora ecco gli adolescenti senza prospettiva o speranza, ecco il Wenge - una creatura misteriosa che semina panico e morte -, ecco il plutocrate russo che vuole sbarazzarsi di un albero secolare, ecco una Madonna che invece di piangere ride, dolcemente sfrontata.
