Okay, so a 'restaurant' is just a place where people go to eat; it might be fun to think of 'cannibal restaurants' for example; temples, or ruins in which this activity took place. The 'vacuum cleaner' might just be a specialist bit of archeologist equipment - for sucking the debris off/out of ruins.
ReplyDeleteAnother thought; if you decided your story was set at the microscopic level, I can imagine how your 'archeologist' might take us on a journey 'down the back of the sofa' (for example) where we travel down through layers and layers of debris (there might be a dustbug's 'restaurant' for example. We could sort of keep digging down. Perhaps your film is a sort of 'faux' documentary - a journey deep into the hoover bag, in which we find the 'ruins' of discarded stuff (oh, and that dustbug restaurant) - something with the feel of something like this?
