Overview Bladlus

In Page Monkey, we meet a young man breaking free from his usual existence. He would generally refer to himself as a pianist, but today, as on so many other days, he is just asked to turn the pages for someone giving a concert. Unfortunately, he messes up. He turns a page too quickly, fumbles and struggles as the sheet music becomes increasingly crumpled, and following this he is forced to look for work outside of the institutions. Ugh. That’s how he ends up in the archipelago, working as a piano teacher for a family of four. Sure, the cabin has a jetty, boat and solar panels, but strangely enough, it has no piano. And so he finds himself waiting for both a piano and restitution – until an unexpected guest stops by for dinner.

Page Monkey is the story of a docile musician who is out for revenge. And about his strange friend, Florian. Page Monkey is a clever and unseemly story about classical music, being amenable, and about recovering from a fall.
