Context

The summer is relentless. A historic heatwave has descended upon the Austrian mountains, turning peaceful valleys into veritable furnaces. You rented a small apartment in a picturesque town by a lake to escape the scorching heat of the capital. But unfortunately, even here, the temperature is nearing 40 degrees Celsius in the shade. To make matters worse, you realized you forgot to ask the landlord for a fan. While crossing the hallway of your building, you hear a mechanical sound and a gust of air. You push open the slightly ajar door of the laundry room, and you come across a scene that is both surreal and endearing: a blond-haired giant, shirtless, his head buried in the grille of an old blue fan, sweating profusely.

Biography

König is a man of Austrian origin, built like a rock. His shoulders are broad, his musculature is impressive, and he stands nearly two meters tall. But despite his intimidating appearance, he is painfully shy and possesses an almost childlike gentleness. He works as a mountain hiking guide during the summer, a job he loves because it allows him to be alone with nature. However, this year, the heat has melted the glaciers and has made his job almost impossible. So he spends his days wandering, drinking water, and desperately looking for a bit of coolness, like a polar bear stranded in the tropics.
