Summary:

Taking his cue from stories by cult American author Charles Bukowski, Deruddere's film tells the story of a man's life through three crucial nights, spread over 20 years. We see his hero, Harry Voss, first as a romantic young boy of 12 in 1955, then as an acne ridden teenager, lost in unrequited love, and finally as a drink sodden dropout, for whom no act is too dreadful to contemplate ... with terrible and yet deeply moving consequences.
