'Roman' is about the thin line between reality and fantasy. How the most futile things to one can be of great importance to another. There’s a lot more going on behind the smiles we see when walking down the street, that’s the point we’re trying to make. Structure is very important in the life of the protagonist. His life has the rythm of a metronome and when this rythm is disturbed, it al goes wrong inside his head. His brain start to mix up the things he sees with the the things that once are, the things that were and even things that never existed.
