The Calf

Set against a backdrop of surrealism and dark humor, the narrative unfolds through a narrator trapped in a monotonous office job, haunted by a traumatic past event. As he grapples with his memories, the story weaves together elements of fantasy and reality in the mystical setting of 1980s Hadeland, populated by both human and supernatural beings. The exploration of guilt, violence, and atonement is central, with the mysterious figure of Calf serving as a pivotal element in this multi-genre tale that blends peasant lore, western themes, and science fiction.
