Julius works as a gallery attendant. He is a congenial and cheerful young man yet, as the story unfolds, our image of Julius becomes more and more ambiguous. The film provides information about his motivations only very piecemeal, thus keeping the viewer in a state of tension and unease until the very end. The masterfully portrayed protagonist works with his self-image in a highly creative manner, and the viewer is left to wonder whether the film is a psychiatric diagnosis of one person or of an entire society ruled by the cult of success and self-presentation; a society where people cannot afford to be tedious or uninteresting if they want the attention and respect of others.
