Mr Faustini stays at Home
A LOVABLE DAYDREAMER
CHEERFUL AND UNDAUNTED, Mr Faustini keeps up his extended miniature travels, as he calls his short walks, even in winter. But when the nearby lake freezes over and the valley grinds to a halt under an icy fog, all that comes to an end. Mr Faustini stays at home. But that doesn’t mean the adventures end as well. For him, his home is a whole cosmos as well where you have to keep on good terms with the heating and make sure to humour the cat. But Mr Faustini wouldn’t be Mr Faustini if there wasn’t
always something happening, and not only in his head. One day, Uschi, his former classmate, knocks on his door and proposes to him, but Mr Faustini would rather be alone. When the ice starts to thaw in the spring, he leaves the house again, not without consequences…
