Fish River Anthology / Mereneläviä / Antologija rečnih rib

The supermarket is nearing its closing time, and the last customers are queuing for their turn at the fish counter. The agonizing wait offers a chance for existential reflection and a little song.

Supermarket se bo kmalu zaprl, zadnji kupci pa čakajo, da pridejo na vrsto pri pultu z ribami. Mučno čakanje nudi priložnost za eksistencialno refleksijo in malo glasbe.
