Oscar knows the calendar by heart and goes for a walk every day because it’s good for him. Oscar has a mum, love and friends, and he writes about all this in his diary. Oscar replaces his lack of objective knowledge with a subjective point of view – so says Pastor Arvīds. Children and nutty seniors like Oscar. Oscar does not belong in real life. Oscar does not like to talk. Oscar has decided to stage a play with his friends about the sadness that befalls people when joy turns out to be just an empty technique. But to make a good theatre show, Oscar needs to be brave and tell everyone about himself. That’s what it’s all about.
Oscar, the main character of Andris Kalnozols’ brilliant and life-affirming debut novel Call Me Calendar, would not believe that he would one day be the subject of a theatre play. And yet he is exactly the kind of hero that everyone needs today – with a pure soul, unique angle of vision and a light heart.
