The settings are as diverse as the characters Scotland, England, Australia, the United States combining to create a rich and always surprising selection. An Australian pope?. A persuasive cosmetic surgeon? The worlds laziest cat. A group of students living together and getting romantically entangled? All human and animal life is here in miniature.
