We descend to the dark stuff, down in the gutter, where it's dirty, and out to the suburbs. We're forced to put on the gloves and delve into the corruption, the filth and stink spreading high up the social strata. It's uncompromising and in sharp contrast to the safe, harmonious everyday existence we all long for in the relaxed facade of family life.
