A darkly comic portrait of a dreamer whose flights of fancy and unconventional behavior spiral into social collapse, blending surreal fantasy with the grim reality of institutional confinement.

Morgan, an aggressive and self-admitted dreamer, a fantasist who uses his flights of fancy as refuge from external reality, where his unconventional behavior lands him in a divorce from his wife, Leonie, trouble with the police and, ultimately, incarceration in a lunatic asylum.
