Set in late 19th-century Kristiania, it follows an unnamed starving young man wandering the streets as his mental and physical state deteriorates. While trying to maintain respectability, he descends into a delusionary existence, overwhelmed by hunger and his own self-destructive choices. This psychology-driven work explores the irrational workings of the human mind through a series of encounters, depicting the darker side of modern urban life with both intensity and dark humor.
