The Pullover
– A love story

When mothers knit pullovers for their sons, they are not always greeted with enthusiasm. Sometimes they are too warm. Sometimes they have a strange smell. Sometimes they are scratchy. And then: these colours! The situation doesn’t even change when they turn into men.

As it happens, the pullover marks the beginning of a series of dreams that reveal the man’s deepest longings. But what would dreams be if they didn’t give life a bit of a boost now and again?
