He eats every day at his uncle’s café yet is fully aware of being betrayed by him. It becomes clear that he was once a war hero who then disappeared without a trace. Despite the fact he appears to be a man with no past and no future, he becomes embroiled in a total stranger’s conflict which he’s prepared to see through until the bitter end, no matter what……….
