Plot
A nameless man from a wealthy family lives in ruin, with no job and no clear direction in life. His sister believes he has turned his back on everything their family once represented, while his best friend—a member of a radical left-wing political movement—criticizes him for not having abandoned the family estate. The estate, meanwhile, has been taken over by squatters, who are eventually driven out by a gang of violent bikers. Convinced that someone is trying to kill him, he wanders through the city in a paranoid haze, fending off the advances of his sister's drug-addicted friend and searching for the skeleton of his ex-wife—who is far from pleased to see him.Cast
