This is the story of five days in the life of a young man who, during that short time, will try to find money and pay off his debts. He will not manage, obviously, but he will also lose a lot more. He loses his girlfriend and his best friend. He loses his ID papers. Electricity and telephone are cut off in his flat. His mother, who went abroad with her new husband, forgets him and never calls him. He therefore loses her, as well.
