Krantz is a nineteen-year old homeless young man who roams a not-so-shitty but still shitty city, where thugs are just lying in wait at every corner of the streets like prostitutes fishing men in the midnight hour. Living a nomadic life, moving from place to place, begging for alms, and stealing for his daily necessities, he finds himself in trouble as he decides to do something completely out of his character. The next daybreak, he wakes up and finds himself in a place he only sees in historical movies.
