Maloin leads a simple life without prospects. He barely notices the world around him, has already accepted the slow and inevitable deterioration of life around him and his all but complete loneliness. When he becomes a witness to a murder, his life takes a sudden turn. He comes face to face with issues of morality, sin, punishment, the line between innocence and complicity in a crime, and this state of skepticism leads him to the ontological question of the meaning and worth of existence. The film is about desire, man’s indestructible longing for a life of freedom and happiness, about illusions never to be realized – about things that give all of us energy to continue living, to go to sleep and get up day after day. Maloin’s story is ours, for all of those who doubt and are able to question our humdrum existence.
