Daily conversations in outdoor cafes with cultured friends can help
make reality a little more real. Unfortunately, however, during one
such conversation, one man spots a gold Rolex watch on a TV soap
opera's goatherd. This seemingly small absurdity sets off alarms:
strange sensations of deception, distress, and incipient madness.
The two men's uneasiness soon becomes a nightmare as the TV
adventure advances with a real-life plot - involving a mutant
strain of killer algae - to take over the world! The Conversations,
a reality within a fiction within a parallel reality, is
hilariously funny and surprisingly touching.
