## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

A fog-choked midnight, a peppermint striped umbrella forgotten at the butcher’s. A timid clerk steps into the wrong dream, lured by whispers of a hero’s league. The town contracts around him, smelling of ink and fear.

Bruno Ganz waits in the wings like a Bergman extra who drank too much schnapps.

**Mood tags**: bittersweet, paranoid, surreal
