A gritty yet humanistic portrait of homeless friendship and community in 1980s Copenhagen, darkened by tragedy but grounded in the bonds between outsiders.

Benny and Arnold are homeless and along with others living on Nørrebro in Copenhagen. The police is set to clear the building they squat in, but on the night of the forced eviction, local acid head Spacy jumps from the sixth floor.
