Luka works out every day, answers emails on time, showers every day in cold water, eats healthy, separates waste, cleans, cooks, in short does everything he can to keep things from spiralling out of control. Everything makes him sick, but there are some things you just have to swallow. How far do we want to push ourselves to keep things under control? Where are freedom, joy, happiness? If you, too, feel that you are just a sheepdog trying to get your desires, instincts, obligations, worries, problems, etc. in order on a daily basis, then Luka is your man. A clown who forgot to be funny and a performer who can’t be serious.
