Description
Life is adult, but skills are kindergarten level. Serious matters like taxes turn out to be on the same level of complexity as tying shoelaces. And somewhere in this absurdity lies a strange consolation: it turns out that even at 34, you can call your mum, because her voice is more reliable than any instructions on a bottle. Here, irony gently coexists with powerlessness, and nostalgia for Velcro on trainers sounds like the anthem of all ‘under-educated’ adults.
