When this distant acquaintance arrives at the home, his daily life turns into a real hell. The worst thing is that this The somewhat clumsy squatter doesn't seem to want to leave anytime soon. P. designs in consequently all possible and imaginable scenarios to get rid of a once and for all from this unwanted guest. Reality is then distorted rhythm of his fatal fantasies. The clear, schematic and geometric line, which fits perfectly with the protagonist's universe, then stands episodically more abstract and expressionist forms.
