кто цепляется за эту жизнь, продлевая её чужими трупами

Cinema, Film, TV, Drama
По-разному — кто цепляется за эту жизнь, продлевая её чужими трупами, кто живёт себе тихо, пользуясь возможностью спрятаться в тихом уголке, кто пытается напоследок защитить какие-то свои идеалы, теперь уже столь же бессмысленные, как и борьба с этими идеалами.
Thank you.
