Summary |
On the verge of a forced retirement, Don Celso, an elderly office worker begins to relive both real and imagined memories from his life, a trip to the movies as a young boy with Beethoven, listening to tall tales from Long John Silver, a brief stay in a haunted hotel, conversations with a fictional doppelganger of a real writer. Stories hide within stories and the thin line between imagination and reality steadily erodes, opening up a marvelous new world of personal remembrance. |
