synopsis
One day, an orphan girl called Romi (6) is brought to Alex (52). The girl may or may not be Alex’s child from a random encounter with a prostitute. While driving Romi to a near-by town and Social Welfare Center, where he plans to hand her over to the authorities, Alex tells Romi in flashback form a story about his childhood, from the time of his accidental and unwanted conception in 1939 to age eight.
