Stylish ode to the big city from the triumvirate Rik Kuypers (amateur filmmaker), Roland Verhavert (film critic) and Ivo Michiels (film critic and author). Influenced by international cinema, they distilled this into a form up to then unseen in Flemish cinema. The movie is set in Antwerp and recounts the lonely wanderings of a man in doubt who is only appreciated by an orphan and two disillusioned women. Jazzy score composed by Jack Sels and Max Damasse.
