"Do you know ants can carry 10 to 50 times their own body weight? Yeah, quiet crazy when you think about it. You know an average human can only carry up to 6 times of theirs. Makes us sound a bit weak, doesnt it?" "Ants" is a story that takes you through the ups and downs of life, and anything between those two. Its about searching for homes and finding them in unexpected places, about losing them as well. Following the intrigue of rose-tinted glasses and the comfort of clichés, listening to a good song, and most of all, about the real lives of real people.

Confined by village life, Merope had found herself fascinated by the beasts that roam the hillside ever since she was young. Now as her life had come to an apparent standstill she would once more find herself wondering, that perhaps there was another life out there.

Bad year? Annus horribilis. A decade of somber foreshadowing somehow still full of laughter and dance? It must be the sequel to the années folles. Extreme weather, wars, a shift to the right. In between: disbelief, disillusionment and self-deceit. Only the most vibrant of colours can hide the rot that's underneath. So come and dance with me now, if you please!

The era of the Swinging Sixties was coming to an end. A New Age was about to replace the old. But during these changing times, one man lives seemingly isolated from this cultural centre. Corney O'Cassidy, a man with a strange occupation. He is a spiritual correspondent, that is to say, he exorcises ghosts. But what is a ghost? They are remnants of the past lingering in the warm darkness. They seep into our minds, causing migraines and unexplainable ailments. Being the only person with the ability to glimpse into this otherworldly milieu with his naked eye, he has been called many things such as looney, nitwit, heretic, phoney, troglodyte, warlock; in short, an eccentric. These titles mean nothing to him. It is his solemn duty to step into the minds of these wraiths, spectres and revenants; understand their nature, and end their existence before they end him.

Who was Polycrates and why is his golden ring so famous? What were the words of Leonidas to Xerxes before the Battle of Thermopylae? What did Diogenes reply to Alexander the Great? All these questions and stories are remnants of a reality that we were not able to live. They are tales that seem far away but that, in the end, show what human nature hides. Many centuries have passed since Homer wrote his famous Iliad and Odyssey, or since Rome invaded Syracuse. But the heart of a man remains the same. And that is why anyone can find a part of themselves in these stories.
