Grimm’s Cuckoo

Joachim suffers from hallucinations. Suffers? Not really, because the “patrulls“, little paper men, entertain him fabulously; and his stay in the psychiatric clinic finally offers him peace and quiet, away from the turbulences of the outside world, that is until Alma enters his life, whose fairy-like appearance turns everything upside down.
