- Synopsis
- His name is Tortov Roddle, and he is a traveler from Tortalia. Along with his unusually large companion of a pig (seemingly a relative of the Dalí elephants), the slender Tortov travels from place to place, always finding a new and beautiful adventure at his destination. These inckude islands carried by frogs, fish that live in cups of coffee and a land where a movie is projected on the back of a giant bear. It all makes for a quiet adventure of peaceful contemplation. There is no dialogue, only inserts from Tortov´s diary.
