Synopsis
A 30-year-old frustrated and neurotic orphan leaves the orphanage where he had stayed on to work having turned 18. His goal... to find out the true facts of his birth. Faced with the authorities refusal to give him his dossier, he burgles the social welfare office and... discovers the terrifying truth: He was found in a bin, probably dumped by his parents. Unable to accept this version he concocts another somewhat more fabulous scenario: His parents had fallen victim to a Mafia plot. He had been kidnapped and dumped in a garbage chute. Today, his parents are still alive... they need his help!
