Engelbert Eisenreich

A notorious criminal is committed to a psychiatric ward pending a determination of his sanity. With the help of a young woman, one of his theft victims who has fallen in love with him, he manages to escape. He wants to build a middle-class future with her, but she tries to persuade him to pull off one last big heist.

Doors open and close in the hallway of an apartment, used plates in the kitchen, a pencil is sharpened, a beer bottle and a can of sardines are opened, an egg rolls across the table: everything is in its place, or maybe not.
