Literal Stories

A mysterious story of a man who got stuck at a provincial hotel, where strange things are happening and guests keep dying one after another.

Everyone's off to the seaside- by car, truck and train. Not wanting to miss out, the mole starts digging. When he gets there it's nice and quiet with just a few crabs and a sailing boat to keep him company. But then the hordes arrive. And no matter where he pops his head out of the sand, there's no room for a mole anymore. It's not until night time, when the moon shines on all the leftover rubbish, that things quiet down again.

The Idiot and the Cat live in utter jazz ugliness. The idiot is busy with his own affairs, trying to learn French, and at the same second he throws everything and runs to play the double bass, and the Cat cuts papers all the time. The unexpected new hobby of the Idiot draws the characters into an equally jazzy journey into another world and into a different mood.
