Story

In the Parque del Retiro, in Madrid, Spanish writer Ramón Gómez de la Serna weaves a humorous and absurd monologue about a monocle without glass, the noises that can be heard in a chicken coop and the importance of gesturing correctly with a large hand if someone wants to succeed in the art of oratory.
