THE GOLDFISH AND THE TRUTH

the truth, the meta-truth and the lie

In the future land of Lethia where the laws of Goldfish apply (it is required to laugh at stupid jokes and the harm done to others, not to think or read) the doors take control of the apartments.Kappa, an adult retrainer in the laws of Goldfish, is banished from his door to the stairwell of his apartment building. There, the commissioner of New Morals, Marcos Renieris, delivers to him for reforming the widow Niobe, whose crime lies in the fact that she mourns excessively for her dead husband and that she reads Sophocles' Antigone. Niobe asks Kappa to love her; Kappa hesitates; Niobe runs away from him and he remains trapped in the stairwell.
