The work centers on a character roaming around Oulu whose words cannot be trusted. The character spreads fabricated stories, rumors, and urban legends. They have many names and backstories, but no underlying agenda—they tell tall tales simply for the joy of it.
Conveying reliable information and the truth is often fairly straightforward—sometimes even a bit boring. Stories, rumors, lies, and roleplay, on the other hand, stir emotions and tickle the imagination. The work explores the themes of trust and mistrust in social situations.
