Stig Manner lives a rough and unglamorous life buying and selling
things to flea markets. It is a continuous struggle to manage from
day to day. His bohemian friend, the wandering singer Janos,
prefers to live free of all the demands of society, but is there to
help him out.
Stig believes that Janos is a great undiscovered talent and decides
that the way out of his situation is by marketing Janos as a
brilliant new artist, by which both of them can be successful. Now
one of the toughest businesses in the world is going to see what REAL
talent is!
Janos isn’t quite as enthusiastic about Stig’s high-flying plans, but
does his best to keep Stig’s burning enthusiasm alive.
All of a sudden Stig is reminded of his past, something
which may change everything.
