Film Synopsis
François, 22, has an important job in a bank, but he finds his life dull and feels he needs to take drugs to give himself a boost. Having been absent from work on several occasions, he is dismissed by his employer, and this merely accelerates his decline. Increasingly isolated, François becomes ever more dependent on drugs, and not even those closest to him are capable of helping him. It all ends in abject tragedy in the public toilets at a railway station...© James Travers
