A bleak, surreal meditation on urban isolation and hopeless longing, where a desperate man's obsession with an unattainable woman becomes a metaphor for existential despair.

Karrer plods his way through life in quiet desperation. His environment is drab and rainy and muddy. Eaten up with solitude, his hopelessness would be incurable but for the existence of the Titanik Bar and its beautiful, haunting singer. But the lady is married and Karrer is determined to keep her husband away...
