Jimmy Orpheus

After work, there are the streets with all their nightclubs and pubs, through which the dock worker Jimmy, a young lad with nothing to lose, drifts. And on the other there is a girl, with long eyelashes made of beer coasters and a coat collar that big that she can put it up right under her eyes. Our protagonist talks his head off, for almost 52 minutes – the full length of the film – but there seems to be no room for romantic love on the streets of the city. Not even a ring as a gift (or payment) might help to bind them to one another, at least for one night.
