A film about David, an illegal immigrant from Yugoslavia.

David is from Yugoslavia. He develops his 8 and 16mm films using his own method that he calls ‘spaghetti technique’. Then he plays a trumpet he found in a city dump. He also takes care about fish in his aquarium. ‘They must feel good’, he says. Oh, yes, there's something else: David is an illegal immigrant.
