The Blue Soda Siphon

A narrative about several time dimensions and leaps with a cinema as a time machine: The first-person narrator travels 50 years back in time from Zurich to his parents’ house in Basel. Everything there is still exactly as he remembers it; but of course his parents do not recognise their adult son. After all, their son is still little, only three years old. Meanwhile, this very same three-year-old sets off into the future.
