“Private – No Admittance”:
“The Move” is the third of three short films (“The Villa“, “Apartamento 114“) on life in rooms by Peter Roloff, all of them autobiographic in character.
Excerpt from the “The Move”:
Listen people, listen well.
The story of a man I’ll tell.
Eleven years came and went.
He lived in an old apartment.
Eleven years came and went.
He stayed in his old apartment…
…The end draws near,
it was his home
No more back there are we to roam.
And the moral of this tale?
Moving is beyond the pale.
And the moral of this tale?
This home is not for sale.
Original lyrics: P. Roloff
English version: M. Haynes
