Description

If you are able to provide any more information, please contact the Archivist.

Picnic on a Battlefield is about two men fighting in a war (on opposite sides) neither knowing why it started or what it’s about. They don’t even know which way to throw their grenades. One is visited by his parents and they all have what starts as a glorious picnic but finishes differently

Fando and Lis is about a man taking his paralysed girl friend to a place called Tar where she will get better. On the way Fando tries all sorts of things to cheer her up but somehow can’t make her really happy. They meet three men going to the same place and they also don’t get on well with each other. Eventually Fando finds the only solution to their problem.
