A Matter of Reputation

A well-known middle-aged director who reached the top of the world cinema won an Oscar and is now a pathetic drinker who lives in a stale apartment at the expense of a young woman. A brilliant young pianist who in his youth expected him to climb to the top of world music and is now a dangerous and wanted criminal. A senior doctor in the hospital a drug addict who must wait patiently for surgery until his hands stop shaking. A young nurse whose parents in which she nursed abused her and lamented that she had to die in the place of her soldier brother. Everyone meets when a poor film producer arrives and invites the director out of the gutter and write a script for him. The film as well as the screenplay written by the director track these lost souls crossing each other's paths in the no-go paths in which they roam.
