- Synopsis
- Eric Telton is a drunken but resourceful homeless man who lives under a railway bridge with his faithful companion, Jimmy, a wooden mannequin with whom he engages in deep conversations about the meaning of life. His humanity is buried under layers of dirt, rags and a shady past. Whatever Eric encounters, he wants to either eat it, drink it, smoke it, fuck it or fight it. He is always in survival mode and his ruthless wits are what makes him strong on the mean streets of Berlin. However, there is so much that we just don’t know about him, the burning question being: how did he end up like this? Homelessness is not a condition - it’s a story, and Eric’s story unfolds between humour and darkness over the course of the film.
