A fictional diary kept by H. K., an electrical engineer who for almost six years drifts homeless through the streets of Athens. He clings to his thoughts, waits for someone who will dare to look him in the eye and talk, and fights the night cold by dreaming he is a wild animal in the forests and mountains. A confession from the depths of a life without a home.
