Synopsis by Eleanor Mannikka
This is an underdeveloped, weak drama with sexual overtones that may offend some audiences. The story is about a young man falsely accused of murder who has to keep running from the authorities because they think he is guilty. He is a painter with no fixed address, which does not impress the police, but they let him go because they have no evidence he committed the crime. Before long the painter runs into a twelve-year-old girl who could exonerate him, a girl who is running away from home herself. Pedophilia becomes a subtheme at this point as the relationship between the painter and the girl gets increasingly ambiguous.
