Small-time pimp Franz is torn between his mistress and Bruno, the gangster sent after him by a shady crime syndicate he has refused to join.

A stark, existential crime drama that dissects the futility of human connection amidst a brutal underworld. It's a bleak, philosophical journey into the heart of darkness, where love is a dangerous illusion and violence is the only certainty.
