These are stories about people who set traps, people who are lured in, and people who break free - in war and in play, with deception and tricks, courage and wit: An old man, not very spoiled by life, who has a passion for magic. He asks for silence for the grand illusion - but the congregation drinks coffee and does not stay quiet. A boy who thinks trees are just great as a wardrobe, but befriends deer in the forest and plays a round of Xbox with them. Two friends who chase their desires with gusto and skill across Europe: a Christian human rights activist, a Syrian surrealist, and an endangered bird. A mysterious man in black who claims he can create traps for any purpose, not just for animals.
