Fyrvaktaren

Day in, and day out Gunnar, a lighthouse keeper, is doing the same things. He drinks his coffee, fishes with his boat, and on Wednesdays and Saturdays, he is having his outdoor bath. But one day a mermaid comes in with the tides, and he must use his bathtub for her. When the bathing day comes and the bathtub is occupied it is getting complicated for Gunnar.
