We find ourselves in a strange no‑man’s‑land, somewhere after the fairy tale has ended. A prince and his servant arrive to claim their ‘happily ever after’. After all, it was promised to them. They wait… But perhaps it looks different from what they imagined.

Maybe ‘happily ever after’ is an unexpected guest at a party. Or hidden away in a sandwich between two slices of bread. One thing is certain: you should not look for happiness if you want to find it—and you should never give up hope. Everyone knows that… but how do you actually do it?

For anyone who believes in fairy tales, but knows they are not real.
