In-house series

The Road Was Here Yesterday is an in-house project: a series of episodes made of short, surreal vignettes about ordinary life, where the impossible quietly finds its place among everyday concerns.


Each episode takes us somewhere familiar and lets the world misbehave a little. Nobody seems to notice. There is work to do, shopping to carry, a bus to catch. The series is a gentle comedy about how calmly we accept a world that keeps changing, as long as the road might still be there tomorrow.


—


In the village slightly to the left, the countryside begins to misbehave. Roads lead back to yesterday. A house migrates south. The moon settles in a neighbour’s pond. The soup is remembering the sea.


The church casts the wrong shadow. Cows appear in family photographs. Every detour leads to the same picnic. At the bottom of her garden, a farmer discovers the sea. Each afternoon, a stranger arrives a little younger. She sets another place without asking. Beyond the window: fields where rain falls upwards and sheep graze on their own shadows.


The villagers agree to discuss it after lunch. It is, after all, low season for reality.


The front door is open.
