Overview
Sten is an old man who lives isolated from society. His life is uneventful, days indistinguishable from one another, only punctuated by his few daily habits and the feeding of his fish. Fish, however, do not live forever and their demise means breaking the spell of isolation and inviting reality inside his home.
