Opis

Who are you? What do you do, and why? How do you make everyone believe it? How far will you go to keep it that way? Meet Otis, an elderly owner of a meat shop in Vancouver, Canada. Slow to move but quick to observe, Otis knows all about his faithful customers - the food they eat, the company they keep, the secrets they unwittingly divulge and the perceptions they're determined to sustain. But what's Otis to do with this unwanted burden? How can he bring about their freedom and deliverance? What will happen to them if he doesn't? Set in a rainy metropolis as diverse as its residents, Charades examines the narratives we fashion and the measures we take to maintain those stories.
