Summary

The main hero of this feature debut is a man who lives in a groundfloor, sparsely furnished flat on a street corner. In his underwear and slippers he watched the world around him from window and constantly addresses passers-by. He switches moods and a vast imagination, so no one can really be sure if he what he thinks up and what he really sees. One day he is forced to leave his neighbourhood and go to an asylum.
