Your pulse races, your breath catches and a pleasant shiver crawls down your spine. However, our nine Shock Blocks not only delight with these intense thrills. They also offer many practical, albeit sometimes unconventional, suggestions for overcoming the small and large challenges of everyday life.

Do your joints ache for an ergonomically shaped chair, but the offerings in the crammed furniture stores seem too narrow-minded and not sufficiently human-centred (MOP)?

Who you gonna call when a prudish poltergeist harasses your nudist camp (FREE SPIRITS)?

Are new, cutthroat family traditions perhaps the right way to tackle overpopulation and the burgeoning generational conflict (SAID OF A DEER THAT SHED ITS ANTLERS)?

Isn’t the last step towards self-realisation simply to believe in one’s own abilities (TRANSYLVANIE)?

Sometimes the path to enlightenment does lead through the deepest darkness of the cinema (LA VEDOVA NERA).
