Sehr lebensnah und humorvoll mit starkem Gespür für die menschliche Natur ist Lagerlöf in der Lage Charaktere zu schaffen, deren Geschichten berühren und zum Träumen und Nachdenken anregen.

For Damir, time is money. He bikes around the city collecting food orders, rushing through the cycle lanes next to Uber drivers and grocery vans – and all the other people delivering your every desire.
