Description It's 1998. Otto is twelve but he says he's thirteen and he's pretty sure he gets away with it. He lives in an old wooden two-story house with his mum, dad and sister, a chain-smoking Icelandic granny and an ancient malevolent tröll that's living in the wall…. From Trick of the Light Theatre comes a lo-fi wi-fi fable. Tröll combines storytelling, music and puppetry into an uncanny tale from the digital age.
