Night is falling.The carriage driver opens the door, expecting to find his master, but a crowd of strangers steps out.The driver, upset and confused, seeks help from other carriage drivers…He will discover that he is part of a very ancient allegory, the allegory of man compared to a carriage.Thus begins a series of mythic adventures,where his quest can be understood at many different levels, very simple but also symbolical of a much greater meaning.
