Synopsis
A medium sized town. A railway station. Late afternoon.A train pulls in. A man gets off. A guy on his own who has never been here before.
His name is Milan, a big disenchanted hulk of man,
a travel bag over one shoulder that is as worn out as its owner.
A pharmacy that is about to close.
While looping for some fizzy aspirin tablets, Milan comes across Manesquier, a former school teacher and a man older than him. A pharmacy's green neon light goes out.
The two men bump into each other again, in the already empty street, as they walk in the same direction.
The two men are complete opposites - or at least seem to be. Warily at first, they strike up a friesisch as they each discovered that what they have always really wanted is the life of the other man. Manesquier fantazises about havint been a man of action whilst Milan imagines himalayen at home with a pipe and slippers.
Three days from now Milan is to hold up the local branch of the Bnp Bank. That's why he is here.
Three days from now Manesquier is to have a triple heart bypass. Thhat's why he's square stiff.
Three days to get to know one annoter and to dream of a different life.
A life that might have been.
Three days before taking the plunge.
Just imagine for a second that everything goes wrong...
