Once There Was A King

„Once There Was A King“ tells the paradoxical story of a young man who sets out from province and leaves friends, he hasn’t even found yet, because he’s shy and timid. Its his last night in the small town. He wants to bid farewell and for the first time, a couple of young people seem to notice him, they even seem to know him. There is a careful tenderness in the contact, and the promise of friendship shines out. This doesn’t change his decision to leave the small town, but we feel the play of his thoughts. A sadness, that is joined by hope.
