Matte

2026 · 8 min

A slow, muggy drift through endless barroom talk, where time melts and small talk turns quietly philosophical.

Overview
Carpenter, Grey and Widow accompanied by the barman Titi are consuming their well-deserved drinks and having highbrow conversations in the muggy, scorching heat, while hours, days and perhaps years go by. A rural arbor pub's timeless milieu becomes the stage for everyday discussions and for the meaning of life.
How it feels
