Plot

[edit]

A young university student lives in a permanent state of perplexity and emotional indecision, which is reflected in all his attitudes and positions taken on life. Of bourgeois fomentation, he lives almost in poverty, living at his friends' house and arranging money for small services and loans obtained from his sister.
