The unstoppable mood shifts of Max (Francois Beukelaers), a truck driver who has just put a gun to his mouth and fired an empty chamber, are evil enough throughout the film to indicate that all is not going to be well, if it ever was. After his "gunplay," Max takes a train to Brussels where he joins up with a barmaid, a streetcar driver, and an old friend and proceeds to change from a good buddy to a cold, derisive stranger with no visible mental stability. Max has vainly tried to dial a phone number throughout the film, and it is only after he loses it completely that the story reveals where he was phoning all that time.
