About
This mosaic-like frolicsome parable takes place in an indefinite dimension of space and time, in a foolish universe without ideals – a world of violence, cynicism and hopelessness. Its living illustrative examples are the three lonesome lunatics who survive in this insane and ugly world only thanks to their craziness, philosophy of playfulness and joy and the enjoying present moment. They live, play, love and hate all together.
