Everything would remain as it was. In fact, Uncle Simon, the block warden who was continuously guarding the social order and morals with unremitting enthusiasm, made sure of it. Under his alert and guarding eyes lived the inhabitants of the block flats whose lives seemed to be written by the songs of their time. But because of “who knows what?” the “good life” came. Blocks of flats came alive. Hell left. Everybody applied for “Who knows what?” just for the chance to win the freedom of traveling to the world-wide youth meeting in Helsinki. Helsinki was THE WEST. Heck, with the semolina noodles it was almost America – the sweet life itself! After several complications it turned out that one’s destiny wasn’t left to chance and chance alone. This wasn’t such a big problem if people simply loved to live. And they did.
